The news report said that they were already in contact with 1 or more divers. Any of them happen to be on NWDiveClub.com??? I'd like to help out if I could too...

Does anyone have an underwater metal detector that would be willing to assist or lend it to someone here?

I'd help if I was down there. I really hope you guys find it before the poor guy has to sell his '68 Cougar. That would be a sad story indeed!!!

Randy Williams (RDW on this site) has been searching for it- he has made one unsuccessful stab at it with some friends so far, I believe.......
