Count on it winding up once and for all with the Rhinemaidens.

Isn't there something in the Nibelungenlied about gold being thrown into the Rhine by the Nibelungs? Maybe they can find that next.

it does not look like a silty stream but you would think the stuff would be dispersed- even from fishing activity or anchoring.

Personally I’ve always wondered about the ‘lost eagles’ of the legions of Varros.

No one ever found battle sites or discarded weapons that would be expected from a major loss.

On the other hand, they could have like the British soldiers in ‘The Lost Patrol’ where you never see one of the fiendish desert warriors as the patrol is whittled down one by one.
