My oddest find is probably live 45mm ammunition, in our local lake. Otherwise we have found lots of things like fins, compass, ab irons and ab gauges, weight belts, camera, stereo, tires, cans and bottles, numerous anchors, too much plastic, umbrellas, lots of sun glasses, beads, clothing, etc.
Who is going to claim they found a mermaid?

Why, of course I've found a mermaid. I remember it distinctly. I was at 130 feet and it was cold, but I'm SURE I wasn't narced. Hmmm. Come to think of it, that mermaid did bear a striking resemblance to a grouper. Must have just been a really ugly mermaid, though. Like I said, I remember it distinctly...I think.
I found a lobster snare last week! not really cool but +1 lobster snare for me, i needed one lol

One of my friends found a suunto vyper in about a foot of water coming out from a dive. He replaced the battery and now uses it as his primary computer.
I found loads of lollipops in a pool in a river once scattered about all over the place. I got some funny looks from my buddy when he turned round and found me sucking on a lollipop in about 30 feet of water.
One of the guys in my club once came up to the surface really excited saying he had found a Spanish galleon. We went down to investigate and discovered what appeared to be the first Spanish galleon to carry calor gas cylinders hooked up to a blowtorch on the deck
We went into a river in the middle of a city to look around and thought we found a piece of a musket only to be informed it was part of a railing.
On a wreck called the breda we are constantly finding pieces of kit. There is a local dive school that likes to take trainees on it and they are always dropping torches and stuff. Supposedly the school sends a team in to sweep round the wreck and pick up all the dropped dive gear every now and then.

On a wreck i found bones. Looked human (right size and shapes). I dont think they were supposed to be there, and earlier in this decade a diver had a collapse occur on him and perished. Next tim i go to the dive site I think I will try and bring them back for analysis to determine species.
Was at Norfork Lake in Arkansas and picked up a turtle from the bottom. My best friend was a commercial diver for years and said he has never seen anyone that could catch one, much less pick one off the bottom. They look just like rocks.
Once I found a lobster tail snare with measuring gauge and catch bag attached. The bag had 2 lobster.
Another time I found a shotgun.

A Rossignol ski pole, in Thailand.
If someone can explain it, I'd love them forever; I have wondered about that bloody pole for a decade now.
