I have posted several threads on this and yesterday was able to get the divers in the river where the CS cannons were dumped by the yankees when they got here. My buddies Mike and Ronnie made 3 dives and even though it was a great day on the river they could not find the exact spot. When Mike came up from the 2nd dive he handed up his GoPro camera with a shot of the bottom of the river at 46 feet. It told me why it was going to be hard to located. My next step is a magnetometer to help pinpoint the exact spot instead of a side scan. I have NOT given up and will continue to try and locate them as I KNOW they are down there.
