Random thoughts...
The longest shot "salvage" I've been on were for a guy's silver and porcelain bridgework. He did a high dive off a boathouse and shook them loose in about 15 feet of water. Vis was less than two feet (with lights). My partner found them after we had searched only 15 minutes.
I, too, enjoy "treasure hunting" inside Hell's Gate at PK. I think we've recovered ten or so anchors.
Metal detectors in almost ANY lake would be virtually useless for finding something like a silver necklace. It's not that the necklace is too small, but that the floors of popular anchorage sites are COVERED in aluminum cans and all sorts of other metallic junk. It would be one long "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"!
As for the part about the slurry on the bottom being from boat tank discharges.........ew. Just ew.
