HA HA!.
Sorry but that's funny a little bit.
I got the fever crud at the moment or I would assist you.

I have been in icy water many times.
Below the lock 16 dam with ice on the river and got my shad net stuck.
I will be damned if i let a $25 shad net stay stuck in 10-15 foot of water.

My buddy had a rope tied to my waist.
First time I ever had to go into water that deep I was treading on the surface not being able to get a good breath.
Buddy told me put your head under the water.
I finally did and something in my body just clicked.
I was able to breathe just fine.
Down to the bottom i went and unhooked the net.

Yep a fire on the bank and i stripped down to my tighty whities and spare tennis shoes.

One year my buddy decided he would get the net.
Yea did not work out he put his head under and still could not breathe well.

I hope it does not drift away.

Step 1 is locate
Step 2 is retrieve

When I was in high school a friend loss his class ring in the muddy bottom of a farm pond while fishing. The water was much shallower, but the black ooze on the bottom was thick.
He used trash bag over the head of a metal detector to locate it and was able to recover it with a few hours' effort.


You're going to need to get a bit more creative, but there should be a way to adapt a metal detector and locate the target from dry land or a small boat.

Retrieving I will leave to your creativity, but wet and cold may be the best option.

Time is not your friend on this project.
