Underwater Exploration and Equipment

Maddie and Marty assist a team in Fairport, Michigan, searching for lost Civil War gold in Lake Michigan. The team analyzes magnetometer data to identify promising dive spots near Poverty Island. They prepare for the dive, with Doug Gossage and Luke Clyburn leading the underwater exploration. The team discovers potential shipwreck materials, including a dead eye, which could be linked to the Captain Lawrence. The mission aims to uncover millions in lost gold, with the team using advanced equipment and expertise to explore the lake's depths.
