One of our wreck divers down here spent 45 minutes cutting a fibergalss speaker off of a wreck ( he thought it was a brass bell) diving air at 170 feet. I guess he did not take the right deep air course. He almost drowned doing it, ran out of gas on the way up . I went back to look for him and found him coming up, shared gas, and then passed him off and hasd another diver surface who was near finished deco to tell the crew to send down more gas. Broward County makes it easy to get artifacts - they remove them from the ship , and then lay them on the deck before sinking. If these guys down here ever dove gqas, they would see this stuff everywhere. Instead they come up with fishing lures and plastic. However, if I saw something on a natural wreck, I would assume it was real. Look at what they find in the Great Lakes. Dwon here, there is a 46' Bertram sitting on the sand with the riggers out, and the Fin Orrs still fishing, and a sailboat that still looks like it is underway , with everythihg in tact. My father got a bottle of scotch off of a 50 foot Hatteras on the bottom , but he said it tasted a little salty. We got 200 lobsters out of a golf cart, and I found a Cis Lunar t shirt on the bottom - that I left. nelson wrote: > > Buckmeister wrote: > > > > I laughed my self sick last night. > > A year ago we planted a box of black socks and old glass milk bottles > > on the stern of the Monroe for some poor clueless novice to find and > > get all excited about.
