The bracelet may have been found.
Though the years don't exactly match, that could just be a typo.
[FONT=&quot]"POTTSVILLE (PA.) REPUBLICAN & EVENING HERALD - TUESDAY, JULY 24, 2001 5 Owner grateful to all for bracelet' s return To the Editor ' How do you thank someone for finding a bracelet that was lost for 56 years? . To think that after all these years Dean A. Reinbold, Ravine, would go to Sweet Arrow Lake with his metal detector and find this bracelet. The bracelet was black from being underwater and in the mud all those years. All Dean could make out was the name Mai Weaver. Not knowing who that was, Dean showed it to a man who was standing near him and that man knew who Mai Weaver was. He told Dean that she lived near his relatives at Willow Lake and he explained to Dean how to find the house. Then he left without telling Dean who he was."

"[FONT=&quot]In mid-June, draining of the lake began, preliminary to a reconstruction of the dam, part of plans to make Sweet Arrow the first piece of a countywide park system. Since then, hobbyists with metal detectors have been combing the lake bottom. Some are looking for a little extra cash, others like Dean A. Reinbold, Ravine, who found the parachutist's bracelet Mai Weaver Bartram's husband had given her in 1945 simply enjoy returning mementos to their owners."

Yes We Were Hunting Sweet arrow from about 1999 to 2003 or So when it was Drained.
We Found & returned Many, Rings, Bracelets From the Lake.

Site is Now a Protected County Park . I guess the County Didn't like us Giving things Back.

The Church Yard is across the Street From The Parking lot and WW2 Era Swimming area .

the church area has been changed some since 2000 . parking lot appears to be bigger.

we used to walk over there far bbQ chicken during our Detecting Breaks.

Dean was not as Into daily it as We Were.
he was Cursed with a Job & Family
