Ozark Orgy

The naked truth about Missouri's backwater Sodom and Gomorrah

Among the goodies he's uncovered are hundreds of Mardi Gras beads, a disposable camera, a half-dozen pairs of sunglasses, a bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade and a pair of ripped bikini bottoms advertising a nonexistent Web site, www.eatme-inc.com.

Having quickly tossed overboard the worthless camera and moldy bottle of booze, McNitt and Coursey find solace in identifying two pairs of sunglasses as Serengetis and Oakleys, both of which retail well north of $100. McNitt sells the sunglasses for between $50 and $100 a pop, meaning today's dive netted anywhere from $50 to $200. Not a great day, but not a bad one either.

Buoying McNitt's spirit is the knowledge that in Party Cove buried treasure is a renewable resource, and Labor Day promises a bountiful harvest.

"Sometimes when you hit a good pocket of stuff down there, it's like going to the grocery store," he muses. "Other times, you're not so lucky."
