ICSD New Shipwreck Challenge...

[DetectorGuy]

Well this post has been inactive for almost a month, so I thought I would add another new wreck to the score card. I went out to the third lake of Forest Lake and did a solo dive this afternoon. I was kinda hoping to find part of that Mustang that might be located there and all I found was this old decrepit 18' fiberglass boat. It had been gutted with no seats, no steering wheel, and no windshield... just a hull, a few fittings and some railing is all that's left. It had been an outboard style runabout and the owner took the lower unit off the power head and stuffed it into the cubby hole by the transom. I dug through the cubby hole and placed the lower unit on the rear deck. The viz was between 2' and 3'. The boat had 3/4" of algae on it and quite a few lures snagged on it. There was one anchor about 10' from it and I added that to the collection. I did a search around the boat and found a 5' wrecking bar sticking out of the mud and I left it where I found it (25' west of the wreck). The sunken island that it is sitting next to is surprisingly nice firm gravel down to about 18' deep and then the silt starts any deeper than that. The water temp was 64 degrees.

The coordinates to this boat are: N45 15.997' W92 55.697'

Here is a link to a video I took of the beauty:
