Default Side scan sonar search

I was out today looking for it. Scanned for 4+ hours found nothing. Scan tracks attached. I come from a family of private pilots. My Dad had a Cessna Skyhawk 172 then later a Cardinal RG.

Bottom for the most part was smooth mud with some scattered bolder fields and some bright gravel patches. Very good conditions on the bottom overall for a sonar scan.

The odd arm-like extension in the scan track is due to me following a specific depth (60-70 feet) and this arm points at Welch Island. I followed that depth towards the north after my main scan. To the west there is a hump of sorts I worked around but will scan it too when I go back.

I am hoping the scan tracks will help Forum readers who know more than most about where it might be will help point me in the right direction.

If so please email me (info AT sonarsar.com). Any help would be great.

For the record once I find it I have no intention of diving it nor releasing its location-out of the question. All I am interested in is a scan of this plane on the lake floor.

Thanks.
