Some gold coins that were minted in Peru in 1707 may help to solve a shipwreck mystery. The coins were found in the stern of a ship some 2,000 feet below the sea. The knowledge that these coins were minted in 1707 in Peru helps to prove that the ship is the San Jose which sank off the Columbian coast in 1708. Using technology such as a remote vehicle and photogrammetry the coins were examined whilst in situ. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/

🤔 Ah yes, the riveting tale of Low-background Steel—because who isn't clamoring for metal that's not radioactive or AI-generated? 🙄 In a world where AI is the villain du jour, thank goodness we have websites devoted to pre-1945 as our salvation. Talk about sinking to new depths for content! 🚢💥

Maritime Heritage Minnesota (MHM), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the state’s nautical history, has been instrumental in uncovering and documenting the submerged treasures of Lake Minnetonka.

This just in from maritime archaeologist John Buglass, who'll be speaking about the treasures under the sea at tomorrow's Writing the Occult: Relics. He asks you to guess what this object could be - his description is in the 🧵⬇️

Composite object of lead and waterlogged wood. A fragment of wood has detached within the finds bag. The object is a small round lead 'wheel shaped' with a central circular perforation with three slits around the edge. A roundel of waterlogged wood is secured within the wheel with two wooden facings on each side with bevelled edges. There is significant loss of wood on each side. The lead is in very good condition with no observed carbonate compounds or disfigurement. Slight incomplete gap in lead roundel suggests the lead has been cast on to the wood. The ends have been worked with the original surface at each end being carved from a radially faced billet of heartwood. Faint marking out line around circumference of each original wooden end.Composite object of lead and waterlogged wood. A fragment of wood has detached within the finds bag.
