Amsterdam drained a canal and put everything they found online, organized by time from AD 1300 to the present day... from pokemon tokens, to pipes, to guns, to human bones. Fascinating!

Fantastic read, very interesting thanks for sharing Tom...

magnet fishermen wont be able to retire early on that lot if its an example of whats there

Blimey I cannot believe the age of some items, how old is the canal I wonder.

Someone has spent an awful lot of time recording that lot!

Thanks for posting.

Brilliant! Thanks for posting Tom!

That is amazing, especially in the chronological order it's been laid out - makes you wonder in a few hundred years they'll be saying about all the phones and SIM cards

Must say I am a little dubious on some of the dating but a great project to have attempted............

Thanks for posting Tom,enjoyed scrolling through that...............

Some brilliant finds I wonder of they metal detected it or just sifted through it with riddles? It must have been hard work because the mud in canals is very deep, I saw a clip on you tube where an hole appeared in a section of canal near Manchester and it emptied completely between two locks and there was bikes motorbikes, shopping trolleys in fact everything including the kitchen sink showing But those coins, combs, pins etc would not be easy to find

back ok

Thanks for the link Tom. That is just an amazing project, and to have everything illustrated makes it so interesting.
