YouTuber explores an abandoned underwater dam on the Chattahoochee River and uncovers some incredible finds that time forgot.
Jake Koehler, otherwise known as Scuba Jake or DALLMYD, has accumulated a following of over 11 million subscribers on YouTube, documenting his finds while scuba diving all over America.
His latest venture follows his exploits of an abandoned dam along the Chattahoochee River in Columbus, Georgia. The Chattahoochee River starts in the Appalachian Mountains of Northern Georgia and flows southwards along the border of Georgia and Alabama to Florida. Several dams sit along the river between Georgia and Alabama, including the abandoned Powerhouse dam.
Together with Brandon Jordan, the YouTuber found a variety of lost treasures: ranging from ketchup to a fire extinguisher and a welder’s helmet.
Originally the Powerhouse was known as the Eagle & Phenix Dam, built-in 1882 to power the neighbouring textile mill. In 2012 the dam was sold to the City of Columbus and was breached later that later to restore natural flowing conditions.
Previously, Scuba Jake has found waterlogged iPhones, engagement rings, and even guns.
