I've read this in the paper and on the local news. My mother grew up less than a mile from this and she never mentioned swimming there.

However, she did tell me of an old "witches" house they were scared of as kids which I detected and found a really nice gold brooch.

Was mostly farms near there so probably not a lot of kids swimming in it. But again, my grandmother who grew up there did tell me her dad marked a large rock somewhere along the creek that flows through the area and she was hoping I could locate it for her. He's the one that burried a trunk load of silver dollars somewhere.

A lot of new developments in the area now, farms sold and houses now...pretty sad actually.
