I made a good many dives on the Nashville/Rattlesnake wreck at Fort McCallister. She was a blockade runner who got hemmed in, struck a sandbar and was blown to pieces by a federal iron clad using 16 inch rounds - we found a lot of huge shrapnel. She burned to the water-line and has been breaking up every since.
What's amazing is all the time we were there, we never considered there were shark teeth just right down the river.....the only time I had anything to do with shark teet - we were looking for the body of a diver friend of mine who died looking for teeth. I'm not real interested in that place anymore. Alos the state of georgia has some different laws regarding collecting artifacts.
That's a big river with some pretty swift currents, I kayak a good bit - i'd never consider kayak diving there.
