Welcome to NJScuba.net, a website dedicated to exploring the New Jersey / New York region underwater -- "Wreck Valley". Here you will find information on dive sites, marine biology, artifacts and activities, gear and training, and many other subjects.

The menu changes depending on where you are. The search works very well - try it. The 'Random' link can take you anywhere. Pick a subject, and dive in !!!

You can easily get involved too - comments are open on all dive sites. Leave your trip reports and updates right there in the website. If you have something more you'd like to add, you can get in touch with me through the contact page.

Gold "Double Eagles"

These metals are of little interest as artifacts. They are, however, interesting for other reasons. Tin and zinc are used in copper-based alloys such as bronze, and the diver's favorite - brass. Aluminum, lead, and titanium are all used in the manufacture of many items of dive gear, not the least of which is tanks. And zinc is used in pure form in sacrificial anodes which protect the other metal parts of your dive boat from corrosion, while chromium and nickel are major constituents of many marine alloys. Wouldn't we all like to find a trove of silver and gold!
