ahh, the perils of posting after a few beers!

That spidge isn't mine. It was lifted by some friends and people i know (and all legit!). The helms are the hardest part due to the size and weight, and they take a lot of restoration. I prefer the smaller bits like plates, bottles and smaller bits of brass. I haven't really lifted that much to be honest, but here's a few little bits and bobs:

Walker Cherub log (found on a wreck at 30 metres)





Some bottles off the Smyrna :



and these are off the Unknown Sailing Ship, Weymouth. They are absolutely rubbish, but were lifted because they have writing and markings on them that will hopefully help identify the wreck . . .



I saw your previous post about deep diving etc...If you stay off the "tourist" wrecks that people always go to, you'll find plenty of tat at less than 20 odd metres. Very little is actually on the surface of the seabed - you will find much more if you stick to a small area of the wreck, rather than try and zoom round the whole thing in one dive............. and dig down into the mud

There's a good wreck section here: Wreck reports - South West Mafia
