Things you've found under water

[travis99]

What a cool thread! I have not started diving yet but as soon as I do I will make sure to look out for anchors, as there seems to be a lot of them left lying around.

I've found plenty of lead, hooks, line...but the weirdest one was a "Sea-Doo" hand held propulsion device, must have stopped working for someone, then they just left it.

I have found alot of the usual stuff:
glasses
fishing poles
underware
wine glass
bottles
masks and snorkles
The most different thing, is a leather necklace with 2 elk ivory's and a little wooden symbol thing.

For me personally just the standard stuff gold bars, ancient coins, Spanish coins ancient, pottery dating back 3000 to 4000 years, cannons just your everyday run-of-the-mill stuff laying on the bottom of the ocean.

Fun thread. I've found fishing poles galore, anchors are a dime a dozen including one I salvaged that has a stock 3 feet long and must weigh 50+ pounds. We do a "reef sweep" once a year and recover cast nets, knives and all the debris boaters lose overboard then stock pile it and photograph it for the local paper. But the most unusual thing I've come across underwater was a sofa sitting upright on top of the reef in about 60 feet, had to do a double-take. Unfortunately we had no way of removing it.

Just for fun here is my wife fishing underwater with her new found Penn reel and rod.

Above the water I was seriously in danger of losing my sanity.

Found it again, under the water! Best treasure I ever found diving!
