10ft of indiana water and muck - how to?

[455-warrior]

I live in Indiana and want to search in a lake with about 10ft of water and then lots of clay muck. Is there a certain inconspicouos dredging technique to use from a small fishing boat? Cameras would probably not work due to the clouding of the water. I am mostly looking for coins, billfolds, watches, rings lost over about 25 years. As far as I know the bottom areas I am interested in have not been disturbed for the entire 25 years, but LOTS of people have had an opportunity to lose thier valuable from above - and never had a chance to retrieve them.

Go to the Keene Engineering web site to shop dredges. This is the only way to do it from a boat, that's why some of us got into diving.

Good Luck,

inconspicouos ?

I don't know on that, I think Dredges make noise.

Scuba gear and a underwater detector sounds like the way to go....no noise!
