Adam Rose, State Dam lock tender, received $200 for a 41 grain pearl he took from a claim from the Maumee River near the State Dam.
The large gem has one blemish or would have drawn a much larger sum, people interested in the find stated.
Fred Stever sent the stone to the Cleveland Bank, which it was sold.
In connection with his other duties as caretaker of the locks. Rose has been engaged in claim fishing for shells. This has grown to be considerable industry, in the river shallows here.
