The remains of this old schooner have produced a bell, a large pump, numerous dead eyes and large lobster. A massive cargo of red bricks form a large mound rising over ten feet above the surrounding sand bottom. This mound extends for over one hundred feet. Large pieces of hull, rigging and anchors are buried beneath the bricks. The brick-paved topography makes this an interesting dive.

Of course, finding a shipwreck is a necessary prerequisite for finding artifacts. Many wreck locations are well known. Others are secrets, and many wrecks have yet to be discovered. While you can recover artifacts from almost any shipwreck, it is these "virgin" wrecks that are often the best producers of prize items like portholes, deadeyes, and china. But how do you find a wreck like this? Research is the most productive method. This will require visiting local libraries, historical societies, nautical museums, and many other institutions. It means lots of reading and digging for information. Be prepared to spend some time searching for clues that aren't willing to be found.
