As a kid, Jason Ploeger remembers people searching in the waters of Larder Lake for a taxi cab that sank beneath the surface decades before.

And of course, like everyone else in the small northern Ontario town near the Québec border that was once a major gold mining centre, he heard the stories.

Ploeger spent 35 years searching for the taxi and then while fishing in a local derby last year, he saw something come up on the screen of his side imager that he uses to look deep into the lake for fish. Or sunken treasure.

... he marked the spot and went back later with some fellow divers, going down 15 metres into the pitch black waters of Larder Lake.
