That's a big one for sure. I hope you had a lift bag with you, I have brought up many 32pounders and I now that it is very hard to do with out a lift bag.
Nice find, let me know if you need help up there, I am sure I can free up a week to dive with you, I'll bring my boat and maybe bring Mike along.
ZDD
Nice item, know next to nothing about them, think that the only way any will turn up out here is if someone used it for a door stopper at their homestead! One of those should break through the slight disc that I use while field hunting easy, only thing is would I dig that wide a signal, out here deep and wide usually means tin or brass sheet metal roofing 4 to 6 foot deep lol !
I Wish that I could get into that type of hunting.
Most of the water ways around here are not that historical , unless I go down to Savannah ( Still a 5 hr drive)
Maybe I can " Live The Dream" sometime in the Future.
Why Complain
I'm Cool .
Keep up those Historic Finds & Be Safe.
