Archaeologists find Bronze Age shipwreck off Turkey’s southwest [2/3/2016]

A few moons back I was trying to read up on some ancient naval battles and particularly on ramming. There seems to have been only a half dozen or so bronze rams ever found.
Certainly old rams would have been recycled from scrapped ships and damaged and old units melted down for new ones but with such a large number of ancient warships we should have more.
I’ve never heard of anyone actually searching at Salamis, Actium, Aegates or any other old battle site for sunken goodies like shields, armor, weapons, ship fittings, cauldrons and above all rams since they would be the easiest things to locate.
I wish I was a billionaire like Paul Allen.
