While not a treasure hunter in the usual sense I am a lover of history and often seek/share information on the WWW these days. I found information relating to something I was researching in one of the threads here on Tnet and subsequently had a helpful email exchange with a member. I decided to post the subject of my query and add it to the information available here - so here is my introduction.

I am a researcher working mainly with natural resource issues, but I like to dabble in historical work and archaeology when the chance or tangent presents itself. I had information about an 'old boat' in this case and that lead me here. This is not the first such tangent I have found myself on - a few pictures follow.



Thanks for hosting the wealth of information that is here.

Thanks for the welcome Jeff and VP. I am a treasure hunter of a different sort VP, so those categories don't apply. Jeff, the pics are (L-R, T-B) oak timbers salvaged from a construction site in Boston at the site of the old Navy Yard. They dug into the Navy's timber pond which had been filled in when the Navy stopped repairing wooden boats. Whale boat Charles W. Morgan at Mystic Seaport. A 4,000 year old Egyptian boat. Mummy case from ~1,000 BC. Timbers from Roman era copper mines on Cyprus - copper and other metals has precipitated in voids in the wood. Fishing boat, Fayoum Egypt. Madracen - pre-Roman Berber 'tomb' near Batna Algeria constructed before 300BC. Washing machine for a Greek village.
