Cool find..
I'm out on block island this weekend and I was out on the south end under the bluffs.. What do I find??? An ancient sword. Probably from a shipwreck. The blade was rusted away to a withered toothpick but you can make out the brass hilt. I will post pics later.

I think it needs to be x-rayed to see what's going on under all of the crusty rocks where the handle should be.

I wonder if it was from the same shipwreck?
That sword is cool! |

another cool find
was the latest woolly mammoth found
so fresh it had clone- able blood
but whats even more fantastic is....
within the blood they found an antifreeze agent
similar to whats found in fish down 1 mile or so deep
imagine getting an injection so your never cold again....?
but then of course you'd prolly get wooly hair growth
and end up looking like NEBE  |

Nice brew pot!
Anyway your find is very cool too. I know nothing about keeping relics from the sea but you may want to check into preserving it if you havent already. For some reason I thought I read or saw something a while back about how shipwreck items are somewhat preserved for years underwater but have to be handled in some special way/process when removed from the sea or they deteriorate once brought to the surface (exposed to air)
Again I dont know squat about it but recall hearing something like that once upon a time.

Jenn is right as far as preserving that stuff. I new barry clifford somewhat and followed his work with the Whidah. I think all his discoveries were immerse in water

I have it in the tank of my toilet. Every time I flush, it changes the water. Pretty smart, no?

I have a woolly mammoth tooth I found in Alaska in 2005 . I keep it in a bucket of water so it wont separate . I keep it that way cause that is the way its been for over 10,000 years . I brought it too the Peabody Museum here in New Haven for them to check out . They have a large room filled with them . If it doesn't stay wet it will separate into pieces
Nice find nebe . talk to your local museum and they will tell you how to take care of it and may even have info on it . |
