digit Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Spectacular find and terrific news that it will reside in the Calvert Marine Museum as part of their collection. I am assuming you have no underwater photos during it collection (especially if the visibility was less than a foot ) but it would be nice to see any additional photos you might have taken during its collection. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image below is a screenshot. Wow! Very tannic water. Tricky to see the exposed bone in the video--I'm assuming it was a bit more obvious in person. Good eyes in spotting it and great technique in recovering it. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
