Several groups have flocked to the waterway off Manhattan in search of treasure
A commuter ferry makes its way down the East River on the the Upper East Side of the Manhattan borough of New York on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, where woolly mammoth tusks were allegedly dumped in the mid 1900s. NEW YORK — — Ask people what you might find buried in the muck at the bottom of New York City's East River and they'd likely say “mob boss" before thinking of mammoth bones.
It all started when John Reeves, an Alaskan gold miner with a passion for fossils, came onto “The Joe Rogan Experience” for an episode that aired Dec. 30 to talk about his land, where he has personally uncovered numerous age-old bones and tusks. In the first half of the 20th century, under previous ownership, digging for gold unearthed a trove of prehistoric mammal remains.
After the episode aired, the American Museum of Natural History threw water as cold as the East River on the tale. Reached by The Associated Press, Sattler said the story about the dumped bones came from Osborne, who died in 2005.
