We found this one,
and in close association,
515
00:29:37,958 --> 00:29:41,917
we found an American
.50-caliber projectile
516
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
that looks like
it hit some metal hard.
517
00:29:44,042 --> 00:29:45,958
-Really?
-Tip of it's bent up.
518
00:29:46,042 --> 00:29:47,667
It shows massive impact.
519
00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:50,667
If you're fighting anti-aircraft
at the same time
520
00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:53,333
that somebody's shooting
from an aircraft at you,
521
00:29:53,375 --> 00:29:56,000
what you're gonna find --
.50-caliber rounds, right?
522
00:29:56,125 --> 00:29:59,083
-Oh, yeah. American aircraft
typically carried .50s.
523
00:29:59,167 --> 00:30:02,333
-So in my mind, you know,
I'm thinking I've got,
524
00:30:02,417 --> 00:30:05,750
you know, Germans
with anti-aircraft rounds
525

and I've got aircraft rounds
at the same location.
526
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:12,958

that there's a possibility
527
00:30:13,042 --> 00:30:15,917
that there was an incident
at that location.
528

for an 88-round container.
684
00:39:10,125 --> 00:39:14,542
That would have been a gun that
was only on a Type VII U-boat.
685
00:39:14,625 --> 00:39:17,708
Right? All these things found
in the general proximity
686
00:39:17,792 --> 00:39:20,208
of our largest mag hit --
I mean, it's all circumstantial,
687
00:39:20,292 --> 00:39:22,417
but there's a lot of evidence
here that suggests
688
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:26,083
maybe there was
a fight here, right?
689
00:39:26,167 --> 00:39:27,708
-I agree. Something big
happened here, right?
690
00:39:27,792 --> 00:39:30,333
-Mm-hmm.
-Where is that U-boat?
691
00:39:30,417 --> 00:39:34,625
-Something big is down there.
We just have to go and find it.
692
00:39:35,792 --> 00:39:39,083
The clues point to
a possible U-boat at Target 4.
693
00:39:39,167 --> 00:39:41,167
But dive after dive,
694
00:39:41,250 --> 00:39:43,833
we can't find the source
of the mag hit there.
695
00:39:43,917 --> 00:39:46,792
Is our mag data off somehow?
696
00:39:46,875 --> 00:39:50,583
We should have seen something
as large as a U-boat by now.
697

I'm leaning towards
diving a new area.
698
00:39:55,167 --> 00:39:58,250
-We've got some questions
about that data, really.
699
00:39:58,375 --> 00:40:02,833
So we can re-mag Target 4,
and you guys can get out here
700
00:40:02,917 --> 00:40:07,292
and get to another target
or two if you can.
701
00:40:07,375 --> 00:40:09,417
-I like that idea.
702
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:13,500
We can't afford to waste time
at Target 4 if our data is bad.
703
00:40:13,583 --> 00:40:15,500
So if Garth re-mags the site
704
00:40:15,583 --> 00:40:18,417
and he can duplicate
our earlier results,
705
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:21,000
then that makes sense
to go back there.
706
00:40:21,083 --> 00:40:25,000
In the meantime, Steve and I
can hit another target.
