New Shipwreck yesterday + antique potteries around - scuba treasure huting

[frogmaster-riviera]

Sonar echo and bang! A new wreck totally unknown ...and second BANG some potteries around... archaeological finds will follow of course!

Other potteries shot not so far from there but a bit "deeper"

Enjoy

Hope you pull a gold chest out of there.
Very exciting.

Not sure, but Roman period.

Do you need a licence to pick them up?

That's amazing. Congrats on finding a very old and unknown wreck. I'm sure it takes a tremendous effort and hopefully it'll pay off with some killer artifacts.

These look like the same photos as the last time you posted. Is this the same dive site?

location is almost the same, we where looking for the original antique wreck (around -200 BC) and we had a clear sonar echo not so deep that we have straight investigated straight away.

This barge is totally unknown, no wreck reported in this area.... very close to it we've found again potteries that are much more interesting [emoji6]

Hello Crusader,

Yes we need a licence and it has to be part of an official campaign. I have participate to numerous underwater archaeological excavations... so I know where to go and who can help ;-)

Bad news for the deep site : it's too deep we will never be mission to investigate down there around 85/90m down (300 ft) ...
Good news for this new site : around 100 ft down 30m :-) perfect, easy and cost effective to investigate !

almost sure 99% for the Amphoras they are greek... bottles not so sure but still from the BC period (roman)
