What a great thing for him to donate it back for everyone, he could have made money off it. It is great to see there are still people that have pride in sharing things like this.

:usa: I hope all 29 of them are resting in peace:usa:

Probably would have saw then too.:naughty:

It is nice to see that he is donating it to that museum. That is a really nice place too if you like that kind of stuff (like I do!).

I want to know how they found it was it hanging from a tree or did they dig it up?

 

[Lothos]

while I don't doubt the foam lasting this long. I wonder how the rings outer layer lasted this many years without decay or fade. It just looks like it cracked a little.

A friend of my parents found one right after the accident. It is already in the museum at Whitefish Point. This will be a cool thing to add considering it lasted there that long...

yeah no shit. over 30 years ago this happened, and now these people who are vacationing and "just found it", and it was in good enough shape that he "just rolled it to his daughter".

something smells fishy.

and i'm sorry i guess i'm not "one of those good people". i would have called the museum, but probably asked for at least a carton of cigaretts or some other small re-embursement.

If the ring stayed submerged for most of the time, I think it would have aged less. That would explain why it's still in decent shape. Gordon Lightfoot is the man!

X2 it's cold down that deep.

 

[skife]

the guy said he found it in the woods, it washed up i guess. ??

 

[One Arm Steve]

Sounds like some BS to me although that dude looks like he could have washed up from the wreck too. lol!

 

[ovrlnd]

sometimes this just happens. stuff ends up in the right spot and survives. if it is real is was meant to be. who knows.

I kinda have to agree on this as well. That orange I would have thought would be way more faded then in those pictures.

 

[scorpio_vette]

the other day i got in my jeep and found a magazine that i left in there for the last 2 weeks. almost all of the color was faded out of the cover page.

yeah....that colored little buttcushion should be almost white faded by now.
