Yeah, it's from early in the war. Nothing fancy. Gold? Uranium? Nah, we got canned food.

I wouldn't think that there would be any precious metals in there and not much of anything that would be of any significant value except to some relic collector.

Thanks for the clarification.


I bet there might even be some canned food still down in the galley....not that I would want to open any of them.

Don't knock the C ration what I would do for a John Wayne bar lol. The food is very well preserved.

Yeah but you could probably still recover them enough to sell to a mueseum or private collector,there is less oxygen at that depth so rust and barnacles would be less
