At QUEST, we are proud to see our underwater metal detectors playing a part in remarkable discoveries. A recent find by one of our diver friends highlights this perfectly.
In May, a 17th-century pewter chamber pot was recovered from a 1691 shipwreck in British waters. This rare, high-status item, one of only six known examples, had lain concealed for centuries on a frequently dived site. The key detail for us is that it was located using a QUEST detector in an area where countless divers had previously passed overhead, unaware of the artifact resting just beneath the seabed surface.
This discovery demonstrates the sensitive technology and reliability that QUEST builds into all its equipment. We are honored that our tools helped uncover a piece of history, which will be on display at the Devonport Naval Heritage Museum in Plymouth, UK starting in March. Stories like this inspire our continued commitment to excellence.
Uncovering a 330-year-old secret requires patience and a bit of luck. If you’ve spent the day researching maritime history or diving logistics and need a lighthearted mental reset, I highly recommend checking out skribbl io.
It is a fun, fast-paced drawing and guessing game available at skribblio that provides a perfect "brain reset." You could even try to sketch a "shipwreck" or a "treasure chest" to see if your friends can guess it!
I've been trying to recreate a famous Minecraft city and with Eaglercraft it feels nostalgic and fun since the controls and look are just like the original.
