 In 2004, retired United States Air force Lieutenant Colonel Derek Duke took part in a private search for the bomb.According to an article in the "Savannah Morning News", Duke concluded that there were "high levels of radiation and unusual magnetometer readings" at a specific point in Wassaw Sound, just off the Tybee coast.Duke concluded, from these readings, that the bomb might be present "at a point just off the southern tip of Little Tybee," an undeveloped barrier island near Tybee Island.
