Great stories. Anyone who likes this stuff will like Clive Cussler's (novelist but also amature archy who found the Hunley and scores of other ships, etc) books The Sea Hunters and The Sea Hunters II.

Thanks Steve,

Here's a follow up to the Blackbeard story with typically NatGeo photos:

From National Geographic, along with more related stories.

Another discovery in North Carolina is also quite significant. I'm glad we're not communicating in Spanish, cuz I was never good at that.

"Students at Warren Wilson have poured through tons of debris and picked out Indian artifacts such as pipes, pieces of pottery, and beads, as well as Spanish artifacts.

Some of the most important pieces include pieces of Spanish uniforms and Spanish nails, which helped Moore and his colleagues confirm the site wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill Indian village.

“Just because you have the presence of Spanish artifacts doesn’t necessarily mean the Spanish were there,†Moore said. “But here at this site, we have a handful of items that were traded – a few glass beads, a knife – but most of what we have are Spanish ceramics, nails, copper items, lead, things that were never traded.†Found @ The Citizen-Times site.
