It was a cool and foggy morning, when my dive buddies and I decided to go for a dive.  We had been watching the weather all week and keeping a close eye on the tides to make sure we hit it just right .  This dive was going to be very rewarding.

Toward the end of the dive, the sun started to break through the clouds. Although the water was fairly deep and murky, The warm rays of sunshine penetrated all the way down to me.

With a few hundred pounds of air left, I came across what looked to be some old pottery. After Fanning away the sediment with my hands, the entire jug was exposed. I then very carefully carried it straight up to the surface and put it on my recovery vessel.

After a quick lunch with my buddies, I went home to further investigate my find.  In talking and sharing pictures with professionals in the field, it was determined to be in olive jar from 1600-1700 era. Some called it an amphora, and others to simply called it in olive jar.  Regardless of its name, it is very interesting to find something this old.

We hope to learn more about this artifact. Feel free to comment with any information that you may have on this piece.  Thank you very much- till next time- be safe and dive on!
