Hi All,
A friend of mine turned me on to this dive site last summer
. It turned out to be a wooden ship buried deep in the muck. After spending quite a few days/weeks digging, we finally hit a little paydirt and came up with the following items. Two coins one from 1775 and another from 1834, some pieces of a platter, silverware and a glass bottle stopper 
.
We are both looking forward for the weather to break here so we can hit it again in the spring.

, just been trying to figure out the best method of putting it back together without ruining it. Yes, I'm trying to preserve everything that I can, after reading all the pros and cons of drying out wooden items. I did my home work and now have the silverware shown here. I'm planing to do the same for everything that I find on the site. Once I have the plater together, still missing a lot of the edge, I figure I can Xerox what I have and then match it to the other side that is missing so I can give everyone a snap shot picture of what it should look like. I'm sure there are quite a few sources here at the TN site that know plenty about servingware, plates and platters as I would like to know the date and country its from.
