Armë, makina, statuja dhe relikta të luftës revolucionare janë gjetur në thellësi të lumit Detroit.
Nën lumin Detroit, ndodhen thesare objektesh historike.

Ky lum ka qenë shtëpi për objektet të cilat janë hedhur në ujë që nga themelimi i qytetit.

Qindra armë duke përfshirë edhe ato të shekullit 20, makina të vitit 1980, statuja të vjedhura që peshojnë 6,000 paund, janë vetëm disa nga objektet që reflektojnë nga thellësia e këtij lumi, i cili është si kufi në kufirin U.S.A – Kanada.

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 foundAnd 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 poundsLibrarian 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.

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

Beneath metropolitan Detroit lies a treasure trove of historical artifacts, such as hundreds of guns including a mid-20th century Carbine rifle. Pictured: Detroit officer Donald Oehmke with a historic rifle

The public isn't allowed to dive within Detroit's city limits in part due to the amount of crime scene evidence believed to be lurking beneath the riverbed

Cars found include a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1980s DeLorean. Pictured: A sonar image showing a car detected in the Detroit River

A vehicle was recovered from the Detroit River in July 2009
