These have always puzzled me. They are all from gravel pits that I fish regularly. They are more than 50 years old and I have fished them for 20 years.
The first pic is something man made, I just can't tell what.
The second one, I just dont know, IF that is just how the bottom looks, how could it still be that pointy and top heavy after all these years?
the third one I call mohawk ridge. I haven't a clue what that is lining the ridge.
Any interpretations?:confused:
another side view of the first one, which is actually in about 27ft of water.
The first one looks like some kind of work area, on the bottom right side looks like some kind of walk way or conveyor?? :confused:
How fast did this pit flood out could be some old machines or something down there??
Good looking pics, have not been able to get out and use mine here lately :(
Chevy won't crank??:DQuote:

To Kman pict#3 that looks like weed growth or algae growing down there. Any how that's exactly how weed patches on bottom of lake show up on my sidefinder. Could it be some sort metal conveyor belt covered with algae. or the metal track off a crane/bulldozer.
first two look like the teeth on a dozer bucket
drop a strong magnet attached to a retrieval rope and see if there is an attraction.Quote:

The first ones look a lot like the gravel elevators I see here in the gravel pits still functioning. See if you can match this up. to the above SI image.
I think it flooded out with the machines in place just like your pics show.Quote:

Move a foot to either side and the jig would just drop. Like it was the smoke stack or, top of the cab or something.
I wondered about grass or algea beds on that last one cause it looks like it only grows at a certain depth. When the hump or road drops off deep, the line of "grass" quits.
Now in the 2nd pic, that is in 20 something ft of water. Those would have to be some HUGE bucket teeth!! :D
That one still has me puzzled.
Anyway, cool to get others ideas and interpretations. I love this thing!
while we're at it (for those who care), here's a couple more cool pics. The first one apparently is a standing tree in 30+ ft of water.
The second one is the mouht of a feeder ditch / creek that comes from the river into the gravel pit.
and the last one must be where I perfectly crossed a slight creek channel perpendicularly. Is that a word?
