Because they didn’t. There’s just an awful lot of digging that gets done because of the bogus money pit stories.

Same here. And because they’re amateurs, and the History Channel is producing the shoow, they never just get right to it — that pipeline down into the island should have been day one, job one, with remote camera(s) and/or evacuation pump.

I get tickled when they refer to “the money pit”, they have created the pit into which they are pouring their own money.
I don't know how it works, does the History Channel pay them to film this disaster?

I’m not sure about that. I think there’s probably a very low budget — given their utter lack of background research and fact checking and the like on their fringe shows — and the two brothers appear to be spending the money on the actual search.

All ancient copper has impurities peculiar to the area from which it was mined. Most of the bronze ̣(copper-tin alloy) that survives from the Bronze Age is unaccounted for in the literature. The impurities in almost all of the unsourced copper in that bronze matches the copper that is found in the extensive and extensively mined copper lodes by Lake Superior which mining seems to have occurred back in the European Bronze age. A curious anomaly, that.

"Not the first ones, during the bronze age." Out of curiosity, I did a quick search because I knew they definitely used iron. Various sources say that the Romans could create a type of steel by hammering out as much of the impurities as they could from iron and then leaving the iron in the furnace, which exposed the iron to the carbon in the furnace. This process created carbon-rich iron (steel) which they would then hammer weld to carbon poor iron. This sandwich of metals had the hardness of steel to keep an edge, while the softer iron prevented the blade from shattering when impacted.

It wouldn't be surprising if *some* of the copper mined in antiquity in upper Michigan turned up in Mediterranean contexts; I'd be a little surprised if the mining had been carried out by people *from* the Mediterranean. The 'oxhide' copper ingots found on the Ulu Burun wreck *may* match the UP copper, that's one of Gavin Menzies' claims, but I'd enjoy finding that out for sure. Much of the copper mining from the Bronze Age was carried out in Cyprus, an island that owes its name to copper, and the Ulu Burun wreck was found off the shores of Cyprus.

I recall reading that a refinement of that process produced the famed and expensive Toledo and Damascus blades of the Middle Ages. My daddy brought back one such from Damascus in the early 60s and gave it to me for a souvenir. It has a narrow curved 40 inch blade and a handle fit for a hand smaller than my small hand. He said it was 16th century. Being a kid I did not put it in a glass case . I sharpened it and tried it out on things like boards. It was pretty impressive. I also used it to scare off a burglar that was opening up the slats on my window one night. I didn’t cut his head off, though. He decamped much too hastily for that.

Well I didn’t know until I researched dad’s side of the family that one of Sinclair’s descendants is related to Columbus by marriage. It’s been a while but it may have been that Columbus married one of Sinclairs granddaughters or g-grandaughters. It was fairly in close line to Sinclair. Some think that may have been where Columbus got the idea to head this way....I’d have to go look it up again to be precise...
...it’s fun to think about anyway...
