ICSD New Shipwreck Challenge...

[DetectorGuy]

This new thread is to offer up a challenge to Minnesota area divers. I have noticed that divers tend to dive the same lakes over and over, and not explore the other 9,964 less popular lakes.

So here is the challenge: Start a friendly competition between us for who, or which team, finds the most non documented wrecks. These can be as small as a rowboat and as big as an ore boat but must have been a floating vessel at one time (cars don't count). They have to be in water touching the perimeter of Minnesota. These waters would include Lake Superior, Mississippi River, St. Croix River, Red Lake, and Lake of the Woods. For the wrecks to count, there must be a photograph or video attached, date found (lets go back 3 years from todays date of 4-21-2010 to account for recent finds), location of the wreck (or at least a general location if the wreck is under investigation). other divers name or nickname who witnessed the find, and to the best of your knowledge whether or not this find has been seen previously by other divers. Partial credit will be given for wrecks that are only a possibility of it being a "never seen since it sank" type wreck.

I think this will be fun and I will start dropping in our finds from the Isanti County Sheriffs Department Dive Team when I get home from work.
