Nën qytetin Detroit shtrihet një thesar i artefakteve historike duke përfshirë anije e topa lufte.

Këto janë vetëm disa nga sendet që janë gjetur.

Lumi në Detroit është shtëpi e objekteve të cilat janë lënë aty që nga themelimi i këtij qyteti.

E shpesh zhytësit futen në këtë lum në kërkim të artefakteve fascionuese.

The Detroit River, which winds for 28 miles from Lake St Clair to Lake Erie, is home to objects which have been dumped in the water since the city's founding. Pictured: a war memorial statue found in 2009

Because visibility along the river is poor, divers often feel along the riverbed's bottom to discover fascinating artifacts. Pictured: Detroit officer Donnie Espinoza holding a MAC 10 style gun

Hundreds of guns including a mid-20th century Carbine rifle, cars including a Jeep Cherokee and 1980s DeLorean, a stolen war memorial statue and a 6,000 pound anchor from historic steamship 'Greater Detroit' reflect only some of the diverse objects found

And that's not even mentioning the six 1700s-era cannons that have been found since the 1980s. The most recent one found was more than six feet long and weighed 1,300 pounds

Librarian Dan Harrison said the cannons were likely used by the British military before the War of 1812. He believes they were brought out on the frozen river during the winter of 1796, to fall into the river upon its thaw. Pictured: A cannon found in 2011

The cannons were most likely 'too-worn-out or small to do the job.' There may be up to three more lying in the river. Pictured: A Detroit PD diver with a cannon in 2009
