The underwater teems with intriguing objects.

Gary Bankhead, an archeologist at Durham University in England, revealed the various artifacts he found under the River Wear two decades ago in a book that he recently published.

A bronze crucifix, a silver trowel and a christening spoon, a silver key, a 19th-century Russian icon depicting Jesus on the cross, and a silver medal from 1964 showing Christ with open arms surrounded by Greek letters in a Byzantine-style font were among the items Bankhead found, Fox News reports, citing his book “Pilgrim Souvenirs, Devotional and other Objects of Faith: Late-medieval to modern period small finds from the River Wear, Durham.”
