Objects found while freediving

[Mr. X]

I spearfishing near Santo Domingo, and often find the anchors very old, I assume they are of Galleons, I filmed some ....

Treasure?! Pieces of 8?

Found this trapped underneath a rock while diving off tip of Porthdinllaen in North Wales yesterday about 200m off the shore.

Nice pics & pot Broseiden. To me, the pot looks quite modern (c. 1970s ) but ceramics can be deceptively old as they don't age/tarnish. It looks remarkably fresh and complete. Most stuff I see in the sea is covered in barnacles/weed/rust/etc.

I once saw what appeared to be a large "gold & turquoise" vase, although on close inspection it looked a lot more like the head of a tank/artillary shell. Gulp.

the video is of poor quality, but I think we can be sure that the galleons of old, I saw some publications on the Internet, in this bay I have already spotted 6 or 7

I am inclined to agree - it is in VERY good condition with almost no growth although it could have been covered with sand... who knows!

My only fear is that it's the lid of a cremation urn that someone has imparted to the sea along with the remains of a loved one... but I'm hoping that that is pretty unlikely.....! rofl

OMG!!!!!! You seriously found some golf balls?!?!?!?!?

Some times it also possible to find some golf balls in our quarry. But it os quite strange because golf park is about 500 meter/1640 fts far from it .

We found a 10mm automatic machine gun at Ansell point!

maybe 9mm? 10mm is a very special ammo

But not so uncommon as to be missed by youtube

Mate, even if 12 out of 200 of those shots hit you in the ass whilst your running away you would be feeling sorry for yourself haha

 

[Broseidon]

I think just one would do the trick mate! :waterwork

 

[mermaidgirl]

last Sunday at Catalina; I did not find it - it unfortunately found me - A large double, treble hook ,fishing lure. It dug into my sleeve , cut my hand trying to remove it. Two of my dive buddies had to cut it out with a knife and it made a hole in my new 5mm suit :vangry Fishing garbage is a plague!

There are reasons soldiers with full auto capacity are taught to fire three round bursts . . .

There are reasons machine-guns were made, and some of them line up with the reasons for having big wars, such as killing off more 'useless eaters'.

But I recognise - no I'm not a expert - that that calibre is pretty rare, did you manage to see any brand or numbers? The 10 may be measured also because it's .50 cal with some rust deformation.

We were taught that auto was when you were in enough trouble to "pray and spray".

 

[apneaboy]

Just sitting in an office pressing buttons is the way forward lads, keep up. ;-)

 

[ReefTroll]

Look mate, no matter how m,any times I hit delete you never seem to disappear... I obviously have the wrong buttons!

Yes, I recall reading an article pushing 10mm as an alternative for handguns when I was in the US the first time. I was living out in a village in countryside beyond the burbs but a few nasty big city type crimes happened in nearby suburbs, which got me to looking. I think the article was aimed at law enforcement officers of various types, who might feel they needed a bit "more stopping power". Glocks were the fashionable brand at the time. 9mm & some traditional non-metric gauges were the norm though.

Found a large jointed plug either washed up or possibly cleaned up, on top of a pile debris at the local beach last week. Beat-up but repairable. Useful for trying a few DIY finishes perhaps?

Just to revive this thread--pulled up 2 rattle trap lurs, a spoon and 1/2 an anchor--how the he%% do you get 1/2 an anchor????? from the local power plant lake. Anyone find anything interesting recently?

I found this local Pacific Blue Fin on my last dive.
