Cool articles there Terry. I have a friend of mine with a camp right on Geneganslet lake - So I have hit the shore of the old swimming hole - found some coins from the teens and twenties. I bet you'd find a bunch of jewelry and stuff out in the water.
I can't wait to get out troutin - only a little more than a month away-
I'll give ya a hollar come closer to spring. Maybe we could do some trout fishing and then some dirt fishing afterwards. I've got a few places lined up in Mcdonough I want to hit this year.
Catch ya later
