Vis getting better

Just been down to Bovisands and the vis is coming back, about 2m at the moment. Lots of kelp washed up on the beach so should be good soon for shallow dives.

Is there any one else in the UK looking for sunken treasure or am I the last of the mohicans ?

Old copper Shipwreck pins?

Here are some spikes/nails I have found on a beach, all within about one foot of each other. I have been told that the reason they are bent and not broken is that they have a special treatment during there manufacturing process if they are to be used in ship building. This process allows them to bend with the timbers and not snap.

Fresh Find- old treasure ?


This is a fantastic clump of crud,lots of pebbles stuck to it. It so nice that we cant bring ourselves to break it open.I will try and video it when we do and maybe put it on youtube.

Water getting colder here in Plymouth, but still hope to make it all through the winter in my Xcel 7mm semi dry which gives me great performance. Hate diving in a dry suit.

Keep the Faith
