Just heard this story about Las Vegas chips found in Lake Mead. There are several diving charters that take you to the site... My question is: I cant find any pics online showing what kind of chips they are. Does anyone know more about this and have photos? I would bet that the chips are near worthless collector-wise, as any clay content in them would be pretty much dissolved, but they still sound interesting.

Here's the story from www.divelasvegas.com/divesites.htm

The Trojan is a wooden boat about 35 feet in length located in the Boulder Islands area. This vessels is in about 50 feet of water and went down after being swamped during a storm in the early 60's. It is rumored that the boat was carrying discontinued casino chips that were being dumped in the lake. To this day, folks occasionally still find one or two if they are lucky!

The bottom composition in the area is mainly rock with a few silty areas. The dive usually begins on the wreck and then the surrounding area is explored where there are several rock formations, a swim through, fish and more!
