the metal-based ones probably would not be worth an air fill. but the carbon
ones should be water resistant.

"Dive for Meteorites", very interesting IM just outside Seattle can dive
any depth all equipment manned or unmanned. I was under the impression they
would rust away and simply dismissed hunting underwater. Most bottom types
composed of mud, soil, silt ect.. leave long lasting impressions "a history".
Someone with experience reading the bottom optically without disturbing the
surface layers can quickly narrow down the search area for magnetic, electronic
and sub bottom surface 3D sonar imaging. It can be very rewarding finding
something efficiently, especially in a lake.
Im just a rookie Meteorite hunter and new to the list, but have been
working on the bottom for 37 years. I hope the list will create a discussion on
this topic if you think it is valid, seems to be a lot of knowledge and
experience here. Our ability to find things on the bottom improves constantly.
I have a map of the debris field I would say there are finds to be made in the
lakes. My question is, at what rate can we expect them to corrode? I've seen
metal dissolve in days and others that are hundreds of years on the bottom.
Chemical composition of bottom type, metal object and water, also temperatures
how deep in the bottom all are factors. Do we have a source for lake data?
What say you list?
Rick
what is the biggest piece of this known nad what is it worth in U$D? are
there any pix of it? if so, where? all i have seen are dirt-like pieces not big
enough to fingerfondle (10g or more). is it worth a dive on the lake to find
more?
