Wow. I can't even imagine how you would clean something like that. I want to scuba.

Okay, now you've done it. I'm moving to BVI. What could be better than diving in the beautiful setting and waters of BVI and finding 17th & 18th century shipwreck treasure.

these items were the result of over four hours scuba (2 men x 2hrs each) in an area approx. 100 sq ft - I don't expect to find much more there, which is a shame, but i'll give it a go :thumbsup:

Here is what I'm thinking about diving for treasures as opposed to swinging my metal detector here. No flies! No mosquitos! No ticks! No SNAKES!!! And no traffic noise. I knew when you originally posted the blob pictures those two were going to turn out to be coins. I just had a gut feeling! I'm tickled for you.

The only issue with scuba is the time limit for air!

I was feeling good about the two blobs too - fingers crossed for the other one!
