Thanks for all the encouragement. Here is a little update. This was a preliminary look see to determine if the research was correct and they were in fact in the river. We were using a look down sonar and even though I'm excited with what we saw we are going to bring in a sidescan sonar and divers to confirm. I am excited about what we found but I'm not going to start dancing and whistling Dixie, not to mention jumping thru the permitting hoops till I know for sure. The photos on the sonar are very promising as they do match the site location and research. I went over to the arsenal site as it is being cleared for development. The arsenal was built right along the Selma & Meridian railroad so I know right where it is located. The first photo show the view looking at the river. The river site is between those 2 trees. The others are of the original location of the railroad during the CW. The last one is for @DaveBrt
