This is their earliest pre-colonial shipwreck ever discovered. It's from the European Age of Discovery when Columbus, Magellan, and Vasco da Gama were going around the world. This is the Esmeralda shipwreck of Vicente Sodré. We have over 2,800 individual artifacts. This copper alloy metal disk is one of the most important because it has the Portuguese coat of arms and the personal emblem of Don Manuel the First, who was the king during Vasco da Gama's time.

Instantaneously, I know we had the right shipwreck. That was a fun discovery! I was the guy that actually found that uncoiling in particular; the Indio. There's only one other one in the world; they call it the ghost coin of Don Manuel the First. So to find something like that, it was like, you know, this is like a Hollywood story!

You know, the bell is an equally amazing discovery. This bell was under this boulder for 510 years. It's in relatively good condition. Like, really sort of fun about it, that matched the date that Vasco de Gama found the sea route to India, and that was part of the start of globalization. So it's not just Portuguese history; it's not just Almani history. This is really world history that we're discovering. It's amazing!

Not savant, this is fine. But then, here's not; we're in the crater of a episodic reactive volcano. So, not the place that many people go to have fun.
