    Underwater NY Sights

    Call me a liar, you knew.
    You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right.

    So who wants to go diving?!

    23. 1,600 Bars of Silver, Weighing 100 Pounds Apiece
    In 1903, a barge in the Arthur Kill—the oily, mucky arm of the harbor between Staten Island and New Jersey—capsized, spilling its cargo of silver ingots. It carried 7,678 bars; about 6,000 were recovered soon after. The rest are still down there. At today’s prices, they’re worth about $26 million. Every now and then, someone tries to find them. So far, no luck.

    Lol..I want to find this silver.

    I'm surprised that no one hasn't even attempted to look for this valuable cache of silver. I mean how deep can the water be there? Less than a 100' i would guess.

    It depends on the area the article says...some areas are as shallow as 5'...but there are other areas that are deeper. No one has probably gone looking because of how dirty the water is lol.

    Lots of wrecks off the south shore of LI that still turn up gold. Divers & beach detectors stumble on them here and there...
