    I live here. These videos are outstanding. If you're a metal detecting fan this river is loaded with treasure finds.

    I live in Pittsburgh and I didn't know about these! Now I need to get my hands on a boat...

    This was so enjoyable and informative. Simply gorgeous and very well done. The soundtrack is very nice too.

    I'm familiar with the ones further up north near where I live. The one, full of walnut trees, had a nutting stone used by American Indians on the southern end. I also found beer bottles eroding out of the bank. I found 3 and they were made in 1915, I think. There are many pipes and things related to the oil boom, too.

    Great to be able to see or visit the islands for a number of recreational items.
    *BUT* The water quality is still not there, as a matter of fact it is still *toxic*. Feel welcome to internet search two items: PPG Ford City, and also C.S.O.. One half of the year those rivers are a sewer
