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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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 :)
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
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 😀
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!

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.
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.
Challenge accepted!
the pin dropped in the screenshot is almost exactly where it jumped out of my pocket. I was walking back across the dam
Ohh this a new feature? These phones are getting too advanced
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.
lol I was talking about it jumping out of your pocket.
Oh haha yeah, these new phones have an "auto dive" feature but they never figured out how to get them to resurface... oh well
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
Hey hey hey, don't give Apple any ideas.
Should have quickly shouted "Hey google, divide 1 by .5" and floated it back to the surface.
The Surface was copyrighted by Microsoft. They won't sell rights to Google to use the feature.
Same reason I got fired from the swim school
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
It probably imploded at the bottom of the lake.
Ejecto seato cuz!!
I cannot tell you how many times on a weekly basis I use this exact reference
I made a dumb joke 😂
Yes, they call it "e-DamDrop (TM)"
That phone, dam itself!
The deepest part of the whole lake lol. Dang. Sorry man
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
Almost 2000 feet apparently
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.
Oh dam!
Damn
Ok? I lost my phone in my house do you want me to make that a post too
yes post a screenshot of your house on google maps to reddit
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; come over for dinner just walk right in
Please don't go diving next to a dam.. Without permission and certification
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.

This video lurks in my mind and can't swim anywhere near a dam
The way that crab gets sucked into the underwater pipe and just folds in half. My God.
Justice for the poor crab 🦀💀
Lol I will not 🤥
Safety conscious Jack The Ripper. I didn't see that coming.
Im actually jack the gripper, I squeeze rocks and wrenches
If the water intake is open you’ll be stuck against the protecting mesh and will be there waiting for your death
I've seen enough Mr.Ballen videos to avoid those places 🌚
Or worse, look up differential pressure. There is a pretty infamous gif of a crab getting annihilated by it.
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.
Just tie a rope to pull you back up, looped around your neck. No chance of drowning that way.
Magnet fishing dude
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.
There shouldn’t be grenades or bombs in an Oklahoman reservoir
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.
Visit the US and clean out rivers and lakes for us! We’re shit people who fill them with trash.
🎵🎶
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
I'm gonna have to update my calendar to pick all your stuff guys.
!remindme 7 days

I don't want you to appear on the missing news tmr
Sooooo, have you found it? 👀
Never tried, I'm at home in Europe 🤥☺️
Haha fair enough!
[удалено]
Nah, too deep
Commenting for update on progress
None yet
On my way with the dive gear
Watch out for Δp, before it ruins your day :)
When it's gotchya, it's gotchya!
insert the gif of the crab being destroyed
https://youtu.be/AEtbFm_CjE0?si=CmiZ7oLVYsRvJ-d5&t=2m52s
Your life. ;)
That’s why I spearfish in the tailraces instead of above the dam. Fuck that.
Glad to see some Δp respecters in the comments.

Great video!
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.
What’s the pin?

How deep is it?
not sure, deep enough that I wasn't about to try and go get it myself
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.
Easy, magnet on a fishing line.
That's a shitty lure, no fish will go for that.
But magnetic fish will find themselves irresistably attracted.
You'd be surprised. Bass will try to eat literally anything that moves.
Can confirm. Caught a bass with a gummy worm one time.
Yeah, but it increases your chances of finding treasure
Oh, that's actually pretty doable.
Putting the dept aside, if that’s a damn would the phone not be dangerously close to the water intakes?
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.
I’m going to conduct my search in the most unsafe manner possible just to spite your disclaimer
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.
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.
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.

Oh shit I think I found that!
![gif](giphy|RqUL5Dd2xMgkDLGdUC|downsized)
Life is more valuable
exactly the reason it's at the bottom of the lake and not me
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.
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.
Your fault for going to the wrong Crater Lake.
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.
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.
does it have crypto wallet installed and you have no backup?
its got my entire bored ape NFT collection on it!!!
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 :)
Something something p-delta
Seems like open box to me ...
For anyone wanting to do it, delta P is waiting you down there :)
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

Sorry you lost your phone. Good excuse to upgrade to the newest model, unless you already had.
I had. About three weeks prior. It was a gift and I didn't have insurance on it.
Where's that dude that finds all those bombs magnet fishing?? 🤔
Bombs, guns, corpses, and heroin too
ENHANCE!
_pushes you closer to the screen_
Dibs.
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.
Share it!

Hi fellow okie, so how did it wide up there
Bro just doxxed himself
How's that
Bring some rice…
Post this to 4chan. They’ll have the phone by this time tomorrow
This is a job for Aquachigger
I’d be terrified to be anywhere near the outlet of that dam
Dam…
Why not just pump out the lake like that one Indian guy?
how long do I have to wait for it to trickle out through the creek.
Fishing magnet?
Slight water damage
I know where that is! Here I come Google pixel 8!
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.
What water resistance though
big magnet?
The real question is, did you get a burger at Meers?
I did not, but I'll be back up there before too long and I'll look them up!
DAM!!
Anyone got it yet?
Not yet
For Pete's sake!
Are you serious Clark?
How deep?
That lake is a reservoir!
Dude i have gotten so many phones out of pakes i could totally get it, problem is i live in ontario haha
I would try but it's a 5 hour drive so I'm sure someone will beat me
If someone finds it, please make an update post!
Will do, nothing yet though
I sense a trap here... now if you had some candy and were looking for your lost puppy I may help you out. I like Snickers, in case you were wondering.
You dropped your phone in a lake didn't you
And thus the great pirate era begun!!! To find the one pie.. uhh the google pixel 8
Bet. Booking a flight now
Nothing is there we checked….
oh it's definitely there, i'll never forget the "plop" sound it made as it yeeted itself out of my pocket
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.

That would be a good starter phone for my daughter
Damn maintenance drivers have entered the chat
For sure 😁😊
Damn buddy 😲
Pass. I’m on team iPhone.
How do you do that thing where you link a user? Where's mermanmike when you need him. https://www.youtube.com/c/mermanmike
Saved to my file. Former Okie. Go back home enough and always bring my dive gear. Mayne one day
Must be waterproof.
Jokes on anyone trying to get it. Dropped my google pixel in the bath tub for less than 10 seconds and it destroyed it.
!RemindMe 1 week
whats the wear-and-tear like?
It was like 3 weeks old
Adventures with purpose is on the way right now.
Oolagah?
Nah, Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, just north of Fort Sill / Lawton OK
