treasures hunting in the ocean,is this a good approach for the recovery of wine roman win Jugs?
ok hears the scenario theirs a ship wreck 350 ft below the surface ,you send a camera down and see the a buch of old wine vets for transporting wine ,the big clay type roman jugs maybe a thousand years old,ok here’s the idea i take like a plumbers snake one like used to view in the sewer drains it has a built in light camera lens and has been made water resistant it has a slightly robotic end for flexing and moving the end of the snake Robotics from the surface it is 400 ft long also on the end an inflatable bladder it is inflated from the surface,once the snake enters the open mouth of the wine jug like putting a hand in a small moth jar closing you had and raising you hand and up comes the jar ,what do you think would this be an easy less expensive system used for recovery for this specific type of artifacts with open mouth containers.(the brain child.)

Interesting idea you propose but I would anticipate that that may cause an old jar such as you have described to possibly crack. It may be best to recover them with water still in them and just let them drain when they reach the surface. There is a great program on Planet Green about such Treasure Hunters. Here is a link to their site. Take care and happy hunting.
