Here's a wild couple questions. If you heard a rumor about a very large, very old, very valuable tractor at the bottom of a local lake, what would you do? Said lake is 1468 acres and 40 ft. max depth. It's Minnesota so it gets 3-4 ft. of ice in the winter, enough to drive just about any vehicle on. Well, almost, apparently.
What would be the procedure to find it? Do they make a big metal detector on a boat? Sweep the lake with GPS grids, I assume. If you did find a big hunk of Iron, hire a diver to go down and look at it? Actually retrieving it would be a whole 'nother adventure.
Finally, what are the property laws concerning such a thing? Finder's-keeper's?
