A talk "Excavating Hong Kong's Sunken Treasure" was held at Hong Kong Maritime Museum on 22 Oct 2016, our member Mr. Rick Chan share his experience and story of the excavation of a stone anchor stock dated at Song Dynasty and a British cannon.

The site located off the Sai Kung West Country Park north east of Hong Kong Island consists of many stone flakes and at least two large stone boulder (cores) from which the flakes came from, and spread over an area of about 200m along a pebble beach. The two large stone cores, of which the largest and well-used one measures 0.6m height, 0.6m diameter (at broadest), and 0.35m diameter at the top. They were seen on a falling tide and about 10m below the high tide mark, and approximately 1m below the predicted high tide for the nearby coast.
