Archaeological Protocols and Discoveries

Gary Drayton and Peter Fernetti explore Lot 13, following new evidence of a pathway from the stone wharf to the money pit. They aim to find artifacts that could guide further excavation. Due to community protocols, Gary pre-scans the area, marking potential metal objects. They uncover various items, including a unique spiral object, which they analyze to determine its composition.
