ICSD New Shipwreck Challenge...

[DetectorGuy]

Dougs sailboat was located right where he said: "20' off the dock with the green roof on the boathouse with the American flag, in 19' of water. What I did not realize until I got to the lake is that there are 4 green roofed boathouses with an American flag. We used an educated guess and found it right away. At first glance I thought is was a sailboard. It is a white 12 footer made of wood with a 1 1/2" wide by 1/2" high wood keel on the bottom so it must have been an unstable sailboat back in the day. It had a square stern and was mostly burried upside down in the sand with the whole bottom of the boat exposed. On the starboard side about 9" of the freeboard was showing. Visibility was about 20' at the boat and about 25' farther out in the lake. On a bright day you could probably see it from above the surface, but with the cloud cover I could only see it once my mask was underwater. There was a piece of lumber next to the boat and a "fresh" dead muskrat next to that. I took a couple short videos of it and then noticed that my camera was flooding and I brought my camera back to the top and drained it  :'( . I will post the video here later tonight. The coordinates to Dougs wreck are: N45 34.230' W93 24.257'.

The coordinates to the metal lifeguard tower are: N45 34.351' W93 24.510'
