I already have a pretty good idea of what it is but I'm not going to say because I jokingly guessed earlier. All I can say is I think everyone has missed the forest for the trees with this one. Something all too common in this day. Confused

It is essentially a scaled up coffee tin for the storage of 210tons of grain to keep it safe while sunk beneath the surface of the lake.
