Old photos may identify mystery object found in Olentangy River
DELAWARE, Ohio (WCMH) — The City of Delaware says a big metal mystery object was found during a recent cleanup of the Olentangy River. A local man now thinks he figured out where it came from.
The city shared a photo of the 880-pound object Friday, not sure exactly what it was.
Adam Worthington knew he had seen this object before. According to his Twitter account, he searched the term “Eckle’s Lake” and found an photo.
