As people gathered alongside the canal to look at what was going on, more and more artifacts were excavated and discovered in the murky water. The canal is emptied and cleaned once every 10-15 years, providing the public plenty of opportunity to toss, lose, and drop all manner of strange goods into the water. We can see an old-school stereo submerged in the dirt here. We can’t help but wonder how it got there in the first place.
