Rick - This page contains information about the June 7, 2008 Treasure Hunt held at Bonne Terre Mine. I interviewed 16 divers (using the low res movie mode on my Canon SD550) and asked for their name, home town, and tips for finding treasure. It was a beautiful day, but very windy, so sometimes it's hard to hear portions of some interviews.
It was fun talking to the divers - and they seemed to enjoy talking with me - but after playing back the interviews I was embarrassed listening to myself: I rambled, said goofy things, and had a quality to my voice that quickly irritated me. Yikes! I did not know I sounded like that! Hopefully you'll find something that is useful. - Steve

Memorial Day Vacation - okay, this isn't directly about the Treasure Hunt. It was a little page I put together about Bob's visit during Memorial Day Weekend. We biked, dived, and floated. It demonstrates that there are other things to do near Bonne Terre Mine.

My Home Page - this has a collection of pictures I've taken at Bonne Terre Mine and includes a couple of YouTube videos. I have begun taking pictures of all the groups that dive with me. While stamping log books I give the divers this web address so that they can find their picture. (It's not an official Bonne Terre Mine site)
