In this undated photo provided by Argo via the Greek Culture Ministry on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014, a diver with a metal detector holds a copper ship's fitting next to a vase at the site of the Antikythera wreck off the island of Antikythera in southern Greece. The ministry said Thursday that a three-week underwater project to revisit the Roman-era wreck, first investigated more than a century ago, has completed detailed maps of the seabed and pinpointed potential metal artifacts. Divers have recovered a bronze spear that was probably part of a large statue, metal fittings from the ship and a vase. (AP Photo/ARGO via Greek Culture Ministry, Brett Seymour)
