With the edge of his knife, he scraped any surface that took on a uniform shape, a shape he thought could possibly be man-made. When he saw circular looking holes, he poked and levered off bits and pieces of crustaceans, hoping to reveal an urn or pot. Even simple areas of sand and seaweed were searched in the hopes of uncovering buried treasure. As he searched the rocks, boulders and sand, he was not alone. Swimming nearby, attracted by the light, were tiny tropical fish investigating the stranger invading their privacy. He marveled at their brilliant colors of reds, yellows, greens and blues. In short time, Jack found the original spot of the last two artifacts and began a more intensive search. All surfaces were touched or scraped. Nothing was left to chance. Starting at the origin point, he worked his way out in circles. Each time he completed the circle around the origin, he moved out a couple more feet and searched the larger circle around the point. He started with a four foot circle, then an eight foot circle, then a twelve foot circle, continuing his search by adding two feet to each side of the previous circle.
