Things you've found under water

I found the shoe again, thought I'd share

Nice finds and gold to boot what kind of detector are you using? I assume that there is a lot of silt there it must be hard to pin point and find your target

Hi Scott, I use a Sea Hunter MKII, pinpointing in the muck can be difficult for sure.

We were diving a lake once early in my diving career when we found a really nice divers flag. I looked at it for a few seconds then realized it looked really familiar. Yep, it was my dive flag that had blown off and sunk only a few minutes before.

I was doing a commercial job in Ft Lauderdale about 30 years ago, and found a double ended marital aid next to the phone cable I was working on. Obviously the result of the end of a love affair. A fossil from the obscene period.

I find a lot of discs for disc golf in one place in about 20' of water and 20' from shore. Never found anything but drivers, I guess the golfers are more accurate with the other discs

I also an ancient anchor this year. The crew and DM's had not ever seen it. We had dove that site a number of times before and always stayed on the planned route. This time mwife and I decided to go out on our own in a new direction to find something interesting. And we did. It looked to be very old from the design. I am no expert, but slave era came to mind. It was in surprisingly shallow water as well. Too big to take home for sure, so we had to leave it where it lay. I figure it was a ton or more in weight. About 6-7 feet across at the anchor hook end

My buddy and I found an old car upside down in the river it was pretty cool and we always find lures on it. Out local auto parts store gives five dollars credit for used batteries so I figured I would pull it up.
I took a pair of cable cutters with me to cut through the battery cable. I got to the bottom and felt my way to the cable and cut it and then pulled the battery free. I didn't use tanks this dive, because it is only in twenty feet of water. Three dives later I had the battery out of the water and a few lures as well. I also pulled up a wheel chair and a bike and a hard drive and some sort of locking lever that I have no idea what it does. There is some more stuff there but it is a pain to pull it up the bank and into the truck. The battery was from Montgomery Wards and was bought in 1976. I am taking the bike to the police so they can reunite it with its owner. The wheel chair company can't take the chair back so I might make a cart to haul gear down to the beach in.

Did you consider that it could be a crime scene you have disturbed?

Just asking.
