The museum of natural history allegedly dumped tons of extinct mammal bones (mammoth tusks, dire wolf skulls, etc.) into the Hudson River about 100 years ago. They would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars if someone were to find them and sell them now. It’s a modern day treasure hunt. Very cool, really.

The bones were allegedly thrown in the East River. But yes, still really cool.

They are looking for dinosaur bones. They say there might be there. So for the last couple of weeks, they have been looking for them

I don't dive cold water (tropical waters only for me) but I've got friends who dive for megalodon teeth here in the north.

Yeah, the wet suits are thicker, bigger, and I think a little warmer. But the river has been cleaner in the last couple of years. They should just put back the oysters back in the Hudson to clean it up more. And yes, there were oysters in the Hudson River.

I think they probably dive dry suits here.
