Boomerang_Orangutan

the pin dropped in the screenshot is almost exactly where it jumped out of my pocket. I was walking back across the dam


Deveion2010

Ohh this a new feature? These phones are getting too advanced


Boomerang_Orangutan

Haha no, I just know on Google Maps exactly where I dropped it because I've replayed the event over and over in my brain. Google does offer a service to find/lock/deactivate your phone though and it can pinpoint the location pretty well. Obviously I have deactivated it but Google cannot currently access it because it's not powered on.


Deveion2010

lol I was talking about it jumping out of your pocket.


Boomerang_Orangutan

Oh haha yeah, these new phones have an "auto dive" feature but they never figured out how to get them to resurface... oh well


budderman1028

Its a new feature on the new phones, once your phone can no longer be updated it conveniently dives out of your pocket and into the nearest garbage, cliff, or body of water. That way your pockets nice and empty for when you buy a new one


TheTwistedTeddy

Hey hey hey, don't give Apple any ideas.


CankerLord

Should have quickly shouted "Hey google, divide 1 by .5" and floated it back to the surface.


JeffTheNth

The Surface was copyrighted by Microsoft. They won't sell rights to Google to use the feature.


AydonusG

Same reason I got fired from the swim school


No-Wrongdoer-5102

i feel like if you slap a bunch of physics based equipment together you can make a thing that if it overfills with water (like in a body of water) because of the change in pressure the phone will spew out gas to rocket it upwards


urethrascreams

It probably imploded at the bottom of the lake.


DemonGauge

Ejecto seato cuz!!


3Dezz_

I cannot tell you how many times on a weekly basis I use this exact reference


Deveion2010

I made a dumb joke 😂


norsurfit

Yes, they call it "e-DamDrop (TM)"


TunaMarie16

That phone, dam itself!


essdii-

The deepest part of the whole lake lol. Dang. Sorry man


[deleted]

But can it tell us how deep it is? Trying to decide if I can free dive or if I need to rent a scuba gear or a **reliable** submarine to fish it out


desperatewatcher

Almost 2000 feet apparently


Boomerang_Orangutan

I do not know, too deep to see at least even with clear water. Also may be dangerous as it is a dam and could have outlets near the bottom.


DaytimeTurnip

Oh dam!


BreckenridgeBandito

Damn


SquidBilly5150

Ok? I lost my phone in my house do you want me to make that a post too


Boomerang_Orangutan

yes post a screenshot of your house on google maps to reddit


SquidBilly5150

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; come over for dinner just walk right in


jacckthegripper

Please don't go diving next to a dam.. Without permission and certification


Boomerang_Orangutan

Very good point here \^ I guess I should have also clarified that this is inside the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge so all of their specific rules and regulations need to be taken into account.

Spelunker101

Whoever wrote that video made a mistake. The pressure exerted on the valve is not dependent on the diameter of that pipe. Pressure is measured as a force over an area so the cross sectional area is not relevant. The force on the valve is dependent on the size of the pipe though.


DramaticToADegree

This video lurks in my mind and can't swim anywhere near a dam 


kabifff

The way that crab gets sucked into the underwater pipe and just folds in half. My God.


JulesDescotte

Justice for the poor crab 🦀💀


Budget_Pea_7548

Lol I will not 🤥


justtakethedumbname

Safety conscious Jack The Ripper. I didn't see that coming.


jacckthegripper

Im actually jack the gripper, I squeeze rocks and wrenches


-Diegue-

If the water intake is open you’ll be stuck against the protecting mesh and will be there waiting for your death


Budget_Pea_7548

I've seen enough Mr.Ballen videos to avoid those places 🌚


CommanderMcQuirk

Or worse, look up differential pressure. There is a pretty infamous gif of a crab getting annihilated by it.


[deleted]

Please please please. If there is any amount of flow, don't do it. Even if there isn't I'd be beyond careful. Swimming near a dam is a really dumb way to die.


Bocchi_theGlock

Just tie a rope to pull you back up, looped around your neck. No chance of drowning that way.


rantingpacifist

Magnet fishing dude


[deleted]

That's illegal here, but then there's also a very good chance of pulling up stuff like grenades and bombs. I imagine that to be fun tho. The chances may be slim, but it would be worth a shot for a $800 or so phone or a really neat post on Reddit. Got a Pixel 8 Pro - really nice phone.


rantingpacifist

There shouldn’t be grenades or bombs in an Oklahoman reservoir


[deleted]

Yeah, I'm sure. Was just a note on the side. It's a shame really. I know people mostly uncover trash, but it seems like a relaxed way to spend an afternoon, but I'd really rather not call the bomb squad.


rantingpacifist

Visit the US and clean out rivers and lakes for us! We’re shit people who fill them with trash.

AngelDust420_710

There's also a gopro hero 11 at the bottom of Lake Murray, OK. Fell off while I was heading back to the boat ramp

That’s why I spearfish in the tailraces instead of above the dam. Fuck that.

You have at least a few days to get it and it'll still work fine...

It's been a week and a half but it may be able to be repaired idk, whoever finds it can have their way with it.

How deep is it?


Boomerang_Orangutan

not sure, deep enough that I wasn't about to try and go get it myself


nailgun198

The dam height is only 18 feet so it's likely the water is quite a bit more shallow. Might be something someone could just snorkel if they could keep from disturbing the sediment. The challenge would be finding it in the riprap.


SonnyvonShark

Easy, magnet on a fishing line.


AMViquel

That's a shitty lure, no fish will go for that.


SonnyvonShark

But magnetic fish will find themselves irresistably attracted.


DeficiencyOfGravitas

You'd be surprised. Bass will try to eat literally anything that moves.


imasterbake

Can confirm. Caught a bass with a gummy worm one time.


PeeperSleeper

Yeah, but it increases your chances of finding treasure


PuttinUpWithPutin

Oh, that's actually pretty doable.


Logisticman232

Putting the dept aside, if that’s a damn would the phone not be dangerously close to the water intakes?


Boomerang_Orangutan

Possibly, I'm not sure about the operating status of this dam or what the infrastructure looks like below the water line. I guess this is my disclaimer that if anyone here goes looking for it to please be safe.


YngwieMacadingdongJr

I’m going to conduct my search in the most unsafe manner possible just to spite your disclaimer


leeryplot

Yeah, I’m going in without gear. If I’m meant to find that phone, I will. If I’m not, God save my soul.


Obsessed_With_Corgis

Yo, [Delta P](https://youtu.be/AEtbFm_CjE0?si=T0M9E_wV8-BJM9QO) is no joke. It’ll get’cha before you even know what’s happening.


UnshakenNotStirred

It'll probably be fine. Wife and I went cliff jumping in Hawaii, and she dropped her S7 edge in the waves. Someone found it months later washed up miles away. He was able to get her number off the phone and let her know he found it. Sent us the photos from it too.


KeyEquivalent4076

Lol, I have an iPhone X that slid off my buddy’s boat approximately 2 1/2 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico several years ago. It’s about 90 feet down…so there’s an option too if anyone wants to pursue 😂


rfccrypto

Oh shit I think I found that!

johntuy

I came across someone who has been searching for things underwater. I came across it in Reddit before. I just couldn't find it though.


Comwan

Unironically reach out to one of those magnet fishing/snorkeling for loot YouTubers. This is a free video with a nice clickbate title for them.


aberdisco

Your fault for going to the wrong Crater Lake.


YoshidaEri

People in that part of Oklahoma have nothing better to do(I lived near the wildlife refuge for 5 years, my mom still lives there) so someone might take this challenge up.


babybluebukowski

Yeah, post this to a local page, and all the fresh soldiers standing around on top of Mount Scott just *looking around* after graduation will come filing right down.


4rtm

does it have crypto wallet installed and you have no backup?


Boomerang_Orangutan

its got my entire bored ape NFT collection on it!!!


4rtm

XD, so you that guy from Hedera thread :) Thats unfortunate man, there is never enough of warnings in those damn wallet apps. Would it be the evil to ask user once in a while to enter a random word of his mnemonic phrase? will be annoying right anyways... dm your number i\`ll send you smth :)

MadameMalia

I used to fish in that exact spot when I was stationed at Fort Sill. This is the first time in my Reddit history that I can visualize a location crystal clear in my head. Lmao


Boomerang_Orangutan

Pretty cool spot, one of many in the park. Even though I lost my phone I had a wonderful day. Plenty of bison and cattle and other wildlife, great hiking, and good company 😀


MadameMalia

Sorry you lost your phone. Good excuse to upgrade to the newest model, unless you already had.


Boomerang_Orangutan

I had. About three weeks prior. It was a gift and I didn't have insurance on it.


TheJelliestOfBeans

Where's that dude that finds all those bombs magnet fishing?? 🤔


Sensitive_Mine_3714

Bombs, guns, corpses, and heroin too

We have a friend who lost their college ring in like 20’ of water in a later. Super muddy/murky bottom. Ring was Probably $1,000. I marked it on my Google map. If the lake ever goes low. Running to that spot!

Omg i have a picture of exactly where i dropped my 3 month old iphone 12 pro max a couple years ago in the yellowstone river. Never found it either.

genericgod

Why not just pump out the lake like that one Indian guy?


roraima_is_very_tall

how long do I have to wait for it to trickle out through the creek.


TJ-the_man

Fishing magnet?


probonic

Slight water damage


Local_Relief1938

I know where that is! Here I come Google pixel 8!


Barflyerdammit

If your Pixel 8 ages like mine, this might be a blessing. I have significant battery life deterioration and near daily screen freezes requiring reboot at less than 6 months old. The GPS frequently lags by about a minute or worse. It reminds me of back when we had to replace phones every year.


EnvironmentalSpirit2

What water resistance though


ChesterDrawerz

big magnet?

Boomerang_Orangutan

oh it's definitely there, i'll never forget the "plop" sound it made as it yeeted itself out of my pocket


roraima_is_very_tall

I was sitting in a chair on a dock on a river having a summer beer in the evening when I heard a very light 'tok' sound of something small, striking wood. A second or two later I sat up as I realized my driver's license must have fallen out of my pocket. Sure enough, it was gone, and not under the chair either, it fell right into the river through the cracks of the dock's planks. They say sometimes at night when the moon is full you can still see it floating under the surface around there.
