Looking at one of the iron ballast blocks and a few cannon balls on the edge of one of the reef where there is a channel down the centre
Some of the iron ballast blocks can be seen with a white coral growth over them

A possible 6 pound iron cannon ball
The search starts for more clues
Conducting a visual "star pattern" survey to see if there were any more artefacts on the reef. No artefacts were seen in a 50 sqm radius from the two piles of cannon balls. Note the hollow depressions where cannon balls had been removed from the concretion reef
Some of the hollows in the reef, a haven for fish
A host of sea fans all waving in the current across the top of the reef
Dr. Spooner examining the iron ballast
Documenting the missing cannon balls which have left round hollows in the coral
The marine life was a pleasure to see as so many fish have been fished out of existence nearer the shore
