My father found one just like this maybe 40-45 years ago in the mouth of Sachem cove in 50 feet of water....he dug it out and used a boat to pull it the rest of the way out of the clay-mud it was buried in. It was an identical match for this one, same size as well. Where did they come from? Must have been a similar boat or barge being that they were twins.....Im thinking logging barges? Being that the area where my father found his was a big logging area. Always wondered about where it may have came from, dont know where it went either, it was in our shed for 20 years or more up at the lake. Please give me any info you might have....thanks!!
