Kinda looks like a car sitting on a road bed.

Looks like a VW bug? Thats a great image!

[skeeter james]

Thank you very much for posting that me Wayne!!!
It is at the bottom of a boat ramp and my thoughts exactly are that it's a car. I called the local police and they said they would see if they felt like investigating it or not. I couldn't believe their response. But I wanted to get others thoughts on what they thought it was.
Thanks everyone...

image from a onix 8 si ct unit.

Totally a car. I would pull it out myself if they dont in a week. Never know what's in it till you look

If it is a car, why is it translucent in the SI view? It should be a stronger return since it is made of metal, right?

That is a pixelated photo, not a unit screen shot.

What unit is that? Onix?
You aughta be able to pass over it & get a lot better shot than that....Juss sayn!!!
I'd almost say some type of small suv but that's just not a good enough shot to make that call....

Hell it's only in 14 foot of water, take a swim and see for yourself . Just kidding, it does look like a vehicle though in the SI views but the DI Views not so sure.

Ok.

Looks like an insurance job to me! Haha. It does look like a car of some sort. Surprised the police responded like that.

[skeeter james]

Yes, it was a screen shot that I used my cell phone to take a picture of so I could get Wayne's input on, since he she's tons of images all the time..

Thanks again Wayne, you are such a valuable asset to us normal folks on here!!!

It looks better in the units memory. These shots were taken from a cell phone of the images in the memory..
it's still not as sharp as I'd like, but I just started using these Onix units, but I live the image quality you van get from them..

If it has been in the water a long time silt and algae with absorb much of the sound waves and take the brightness out due to lack of roughness and hardness which is crucial for a good image. If Skeeter can go back, and get further away, and image from several angles, from the target a better image will be obtained. Being very close will distort your return.

There is a little story on Facebook about this and how a fishermen found it with his depth finder electronics..Car was located and pulled out of the lake ....

I believe the image is weaker on side vision because I believe I went directly over it when I took the screen shot.

Did ya get the story on the car?
Any bodies, stolen or just a insurance job?
