Some of you have asked me how I display all my finds from the Shark Pit & when the Museum was going to open. Well I found an old display case that needed some work but was the right size. I put all new glass shelves and a top on it & also new brackets and paint job! I have been slowly going over my finds from the Pit & putting this display together. I am pleased to say, THE SHARK PIT MUSEUM IS NOW OPEN!  I thought you might want to see some pictures of it. Thanks for looking! What is a Shark Pit?

Wow, very nice. I always enjoyed your posts on the 'shark pit' & knew
you had plenty of finds there, but all that is amazing. Plenty of work on
your part & it shows. Great job & thanks for showing us.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it! I can't wait to get back out there when the water warms up in a few months! ;) rob!...................honestly man, that may be the coolest thing i have ever seen on t-net! if it doesnt make the banner and the magazine something is seriously wrong! that really is outstanding. thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the Banner vote Bud! It would be an honor! Here are some more pictures & close ups! And pictures of 2 items that are not in this case but should be included in this collection. One is of the 1963 class ring that I returned to the owner after being lost for 43 years! Maybe I should just put a picture of it in the case.  Here's a link to that story http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,57059.0.htmlAnd the other is an old anchor I pulled up out there. It won't fit in the case but I have to figure out a way to display it with this case! |

Very nice collection from the pit. That place just keeps giving. I remember the cash register grill well.

WOW!!!! I am, as always, awed by the finds and to see them all together is mind boggling! I am going to figure out where that place is yet....lol! I was up in MD last month and believe me, you were not far from my mind, but I still could not figure out where it was. Once you clean the place out, will you let on where it is?? would love to know, it's killing me...... well, maybe its the jealousy that's killing me. At any rate, great job!!!

That's looks really incredible,i like how you have pics/ads/posters and little notes to go with everything showing what things are and what the pieces/fragments once were...just awesome...I bet whoever sees this post will want to start looking for their own glass display cases..very smart looking and put together....BRAVO!!!
