Divers hope to return camera found in lake to owner

HENDERSON COUNTY, Tenn. — They say one’s trash is another’s treasure. In a recent case, that treasure was found at the bottom of a West Tennessee lake.

Divers with the West Tennessee Dive, Rescue and Recovery Team located a digital camera at the bottom of Pin Oak Lake in Natchez Trace State Park.

Amazingly, the camera’s memory card was not damaged and 79 pictures dating back to 2006 were found inside.

“To see something that’s in the water that probably nobody was ever going to see again and then come across it, it’s a good feeling,” said J.D. Dunkle,  captain of West Tennessee Dive, Rescue and Recovery Team. “It’d be a lot better if we could find out who’s in the pictures and get them back to them.”

If the camera is yours or if you recognize those in the pictures, you can contact the dive team on their Facebook page.
