<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3027596, member: 17665"]Loggers have been doing deep water harvesting of ancient trees in the Great lakes for a very long time. I'm surprised this was not picked up on much earlier with the underwater cameras they use.</p><p> But another thing, George Washington and his troops passed through my way in the Berkshires in Ma. one winter. Washington and his officers stayed at a place called the Inn On The Green. The troops encamped about a half mile away in the nearby woods. It was a tough winter and several men died and were shallow buried with the intention of picking them back up on the trip home. It never happened and eventually someone found the graves along with some artifacts left behind. It's completely plausible that if only a couple or few men were involved in a robbery, that they might have eliminated each other with the intention of reclaiming their booty by only one. And that one may have died before that was possible. Slaves were also known to bury their meager valuables with intentions of someday returning but were either recaptured or died. So, anything is possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
