    Damn, it looks like the Lake drained another 3 to 4ft.

    Yes, I strapped a flashlight to the GoPro and attached that to a rope and dropped it to the bottom. I was only able to watch on my phone until the wifi signal got dropped. I'm getting off the water now and heading home. We'll see what's down there when I get home and download the video.

    Why are you filming an intake? I thought you were looking for a missing plane. Anyways, about all they find in the intakes for our hydro plant are really big catfish.

    What you REALLY need to do is get a good quality metal detector. Hell, no has ever scanned that area...when it went underwater, there weren't any....God knows what you could dig up out there....

    My guess is corroborated. Intake correct?

    Okay, so I'm watching the videos now. It is not an intake. I'm not sure what it is. The cement stops about 4' down and it turns into natural soil. So far I've seen gold...yes gold and a couple fish. You can also see the different soils and rocks as it gets deeper...and it gets dark! I have to figure a way to edit the videos and post them.

    So it's a breeding box for fish ?
    Believe 1/2 of what you see and nothing of what you hear.

    Pretty sure it's a well or something to do with an old gold mine. It was about 50' deep.
