Gold, silver and precious artifacts have been found off the New England coast, mostly due to the advent of scuba diving. The 1717 pirate ship Whydah has been uncovered off Cape Cod and much of her treasure has been salvaged; many Revolutionary War wrecks have been recently discovered on the sea floor off Rhode Island and Maine, and New Hampshire's Isle Of Shoals is reluctantly beginning to reveal her host of sunken treasures. Lost and found ships along the coast.

INTRODUCTION

Until the early 1980's most people looked askance at dedicated treasure hunters.They were considered a frivolous lot,forever chasing rainbows. Today,however,they emerge as sound, sensible men,many of whom have found that sunken pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.It is not treasure in the form of gold, silver and jewels that these hunters seek-and often find-but artifacts and objects of historical significance as well; items cherished by collectors and antique dealers.

Most of the valuable items found thus far in New England waters were discovered in the shallows-sometimes in water less than twelve feet deep-easily accessible to divers geared with no more equipment than a snorkel,mask and a pair of fins.
