Found some handcuffs in Rhinelander, WI in the Wisconsin River! 🤣

In Summer 2023, Silent J and I took a roadtrip up to Rhinelander, Wisconsin to clean up the Wisconsin River a little bit. I was quite surprised to find the handcuffs, along with a LOT of vehicle tire components! There just happened to be a mechanic shop right next to the river, but this stuff could’ve been in there for a long time (not blaming the shop).
We ended up leaving the tires and metal on site after our dive and one of my followers came and cleaned it up later that day. Thanks to him!! It’s so great that we can get help cleaning up the waterways.

I've lived in Rhinelander all my life. I can't believe with everyone that fishes from the papermill bridge that u didn't find twice as many baits. All the break rotors and tires are not that hard to believe with the tire and break shop rite next to the bridge. The white more square ceramic glass jar is more than likely a vintage either vix or Vaseline jar from probably the 50s. The little v cat card is a newer library card for our local library. If your ever in the area. Let me know through this post. I could send u to some of the stump fields up river but my parents House u would get so many baits. Great to see all the amazing things u pull out of the water. Keep up the great work.

Thanks!!

Neat spot. I worked on some engineering for that city with a former company I worked with and that area was one spot I worked on for quite some time (above water though), so it's neat seeing what you found in that area. I bet that barricade was thrown in the water there when they redid the street about 7 or 8 years ago!

I worked there about 8 years ago too! Installing new underground electric under the lots nearby. I think you may be right about the road sign. 🤣

[@EdtheDiver]

[@Smalltownboys9]

There is homeless people that live under the bridge and the paper mill is right there if you guys go further down and go you should find stuff and good views
