Artifact recovery in the "Deep Flooded Mine" 8-30-15
Posted by Dan Wright on 8/31/2015, 8:31 pm
John Eells and I did two dives on Sunday, August 30th, 2015, at the Deep Flooded Mine. On this second dive of the day, John had planned to recover two hubcaps, one each from an Oakland and Studebaker cars. He took down with him a monster channel lock wrench to pry them off. The Studebaker was more stubborn, but both were salvaged. On the first dive of the day, we were in active search for the lost victim, Robin Murphy. Today was my 33rd day of diving here, and my 45th and 46th dives. Without the the reliability of the DUI "Blue Heat", such long durations in 42 degree water would be very uncomfortable. Both John and I use this system, he also has a CF 200 drysuit, pictured here, while I use a CLX 450.
Hey I liked this video. It was pretty clear and you got something. Maybe you could start a hubcap collection. I am sure that there are still some on the Mohawk. I though the cars would be in better shape. A lot of the quarries in Nj have cars in them. If you find a car with alum wheels you can even sell them for reuse

I have no interest in collecting hubcaps, but if you wish Howard, come dive the mine and take some for yourself. John wanted some kind of trinket to have after diving there some 40 times.
