I know this looks like a broken flower pot from Bed Bath & Beyond but what do they say? Never judge a book by it's cover? It's hard to imagine this unassuming pottery sherd had such a rich history. Sailing on a Spanish galleon from Spain to Cuba in 1715 before being wiped out by a hurricane on its return voyage.
I was stoked when the investment company called and told me that the division process was completed and I was getting some of the artifacts back that I found. They sent back one of my largest sherds, the musket ball and piece of porcelain that has yet to be identified.
Looks like a broken spark plug to me, but hey, never judge a book by it's cover

We almost had two different types of video in one. A FAIL video and a treasure hunting video. In our latest vid we pulled down a large dead tree with a tractor. What could go wrong, right? This tree was known to have an unidentified relic in it. We cut it up and burned it to find out!

It took a while to get this video made on the history and return of a relic from the last video because I had come down with a cold that robbed me of the voice I needed to make videos....anyways...here it is! Short and sweet!

This is a short video on the research and history of a dog ID tag that I dug in my last video. This relic was sent back to a surviving family member. ...
