Wow! That looks very salvagable. I would guess that lake had a very cold water temperature with little or no sodium content. Great stuff!

the former pilot of this mount has considered very carefuly whether or not he is going to attend the raising and rejuvenation of this jug. 405th or 406th fg. I have the pilots name somewhere here. .........
