We removed the stone cover and the water was crystal clear. We could not see the bottom, but it probed out at the depth of about 10'. This building was the local potter in 1840, and was in business for 20 plus years. I was thinking about doning the scuba gear and taking the plunge, but before I go thru this bone chilling adventure, what are the chances of any treasures being preserved in this time capsule?

If this guy was the local potter leave the cistern along and look for the privy or privys and look around for the waste pile of pottery.
