- mecsred 4y agoClaw. Bucket. Reinforced net. Submersible ROV. Trained sea life. Anything that's not a magnet.
- hhh 4y agoArcade claw, with coin slot and all.

- Flankk 4y agoCore sample via remote controlled submarine. Magnets sounds goofy. I suspect he knows something we don't.
- giantg2 4y agoSupposedly it's in pieces from the impact. Small samples would be fine to locate and collect via ROV with a metal detector on it to check below the silt. If they want mass extraction after that, then potentially a form a dredging could be used (vacuum and filter could work to leave the sand and silt on the bottom).
