I found these online and thought, how cool! I'm in the process of designing a custom Artifact reef piece. I want it to have a piece of ceramic or 18 centuary rum bottle. Been looking.g for ideas. So I fan across these.

You coulad do a DIY concrete rock. And buy a antique bottle to add to the wet mix. Or I'm working with a ceramic shop in FL. Were they have a lady who makes reef pieces. And they can do a replica Artifact out of ceramic. It will be 1 piece. Bit if it cost to much I'm going with the DIY idea. Ill start hitting antique malls looking for the perfect bottle. Maybe 18 the..centuary rum bottle. Picture sailing the carribiens on a ship and a hurricane hits. I've been researching shipwrecks and the artifacts found. Also forts were the soldiers threw trash. Over the walls into the sea
 
More pics. I thought of doing some ceramic coins and adding real gold leaf. Then bury in the rock.

I always thought it would be cool to get a g.I Joe and cover him with gsp and make a swamp thing.
 
I'm trying A experiment with some wallmart oven baked clay, rock salt, table salt and crushed coral. After balding I rinsed it under the faucet to get alot of the salt. Then soaked in really warm water some. Now its in the toilet tank to get some rinses.
