A couple of days ago, DIVER1111 was scootering around that divesite and came across "dozens" of round shaped objects. The second 2 pictures show one of the round shaped objects. It's kind of hard to figure out just what they are. Does anyone want to hazard a guess? It would be neat to look at the Seneca's loading manifest, if we knew where we could find it.

I was just looking at a post about Wolfeboro Back/Front bay. There was some history posted about a mill that produced excelsior. Excelsior was made from the waste created from the manufacture of other products. It was used as a shipping material inside boxes. Excelsior, once a common product used to pack fragile items for shipping in wooden boxes, and also used for filling in mattresses, is not seen much today. Excelsior is a shredded wood product made from poplar or other soft woods.
Could this be it?
