Missouri Boys Go Diving; Find Sunken Treasure
LOUISIANA, MO -- Sunken treasure, thought to be lost forever, was found by local pool divers this week.

Joshua and Jonathan McElfresh began diving in their pool this summer. After repeated attempts, they finally found treasures that had been thought to be lost for weeks.

Braving the summer heat and leaf invested waters, the one-year-old twins reportedly found every item lost in the pool during earlier play periods.

While their mother was ecstatic at the return of the lost objects, she reportedly was equally distressed at the amount of bugs, leaves, and grass ingested by the boys.

PIX NOTES Early on, both Josh and Jon appeared to really enjoy swimming in the pool. We thought that would translate to swimming activities in the local city pool. It didn't. When zipped up in his life jacket, Joshua began screaching at the top of his lungs as soon as he was placed into the pool. Jon looked worried but began paddling about. We had to remove Joshua from the pool because nearby swimmers and sun bathers began complaining about the noise. And the fact that he'd screamed himself purple.
