I like the motto of the NYPD scuba cops. Do you know any? Pretty elite group, I imagine...

Hey, one quick trip to NY, using just that good old fashioned FR ingenuity, and there’d be no more need for FReepathons. :’)

> 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.
