I already have a few scoped out for after the spring thaw. What do you do, I was planning on just walking with a shovel to see if I could find anything?

The good spots are unaccessible unless you can dive(hint hint to the divers). When they put the locks and dams in the Ohio River it raised the level and covered the good stuff up. As far as I know nobody has done any diving around here. Once again hint hint nudge nudge! I need some divers to come over in the spring and I'll be the safety man up top. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to brokenshovel) Post #: 5
