inland lake sink rate?

I'm wondering what the sink rate is on inland lake shores, especially small inland lakes where there is little wave action. Also the sink rate in the sand up away from the water. I remember a example of extreme sink rate Tom wrote about regarding a ring he tied a string too and sank almost 2 feet in less than a minute on the ocean shore line. I find that extremely facinating.
Thanks and Happy Hunting to everyone this weekend!

TOO many variables to give a definitive answer. Mud/muck is your worst enemy. Silt also does not help much. Jet ski's & boats will 'sink' objecta also.

As Tom said there are too many variables. Knowing your lakes is key, I have several areas where there is a hardpan that stops targets but is too deep to reach under normal conditions. Just like the salt water hunters I monitor these lakes/beaches for changes in the sand and often times find the older stuff. It's usually a very small area that happens to clear out some of the overlying sand. When I hit older junk or start getting iron signals where I had not heard them before I hit that area hard.
