"Historical" sites

[Nwcid]

We have a dive site in our area that I have some questions about. One part of the site is very commonly dove and nothing to "mess with". The site technically is Federal land and it has their standard "no metal detecting or removing things" signs up.

One of the things at this site is a hand dug canoe at about 40'. There are a couple of stories about where it may have come from. One of the worries is that this site, which is a boat launching area, could get shut down. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of stuff?

Here are a few pics of what I am talking about,

Wow, A lobster! That's a lot more interesting than a rotting old dugout. LOL

The government is very nasty about relics of any type. Especially on federal lands. If they catch you messing with anything like that they will confiscate your equipment and fine the heck out of ya!

Crayfish ... you see them in lakes commonly. When I was diving Lake Washington wrecks with some regularity I used to amuse myself by dropping them on my dive buddy ...

Heh, not so long ago I scared the living crap out of Jessie (Scubie Doo) by doing that to him at the I-90 bridge. I held the tail in my hands while it started "kicking" to try to get away, and I held it in front of his face right as I let go.

You can probably talk to the folks at MOHAI. (Museum Of History and Industry)

drop me a PM and I can connect you with some folks there and see if they are interested.

I would talk to Maurice major from the DNR...he has been helpful and very involved in everything we have done with the lake union project..if you would like an email address let me know.

Thanks for the info guys. I got a PM the other day from a person that is going to get me some information and the contact person for this. This site is in ID so I will not bother DNR about it. I just know a few of you guys have done some of this kind of work so thought I would ask.
