Barbie found at the bottom of Wolf River auctioned for over $1,000, proceeds to help clean Lakeshore
MARINETTE, Wis. (WFRV) – Ed Bieber, better known as “Ed the Diver,” cleans the lakeshore in his spare time and says it is not every day that you find toys underwater. During one of his latest dives, Bieber found a Barbie doll from 1993.
“I was diving in Shawano at the Shawano dam just a couple of weeks ago doing some cleanup, looking at sturgeon and fish down there, and I came across a Barbie doll just hanging out on the rocks,” stated Bieber.
The doll is a collector’s item, so Bieber put it up for auction to help raise money for a worthy cause.

Dozens placed bids on the doll, pushing the total higher and higher. Bieber plans to put all the proceeds toward his efforts in cleaning up the lakeshore.
“Full time I clean up the rivers and travel around and it’s all volunteering, so this helps fund me to pay for food, fuel, getting rid of trash, and all kinds of things,” said Bieber.
The doll sold for more than $1,200, and Bieber plans to deliver the doll in person.
