A PADI O/W card issued 2 months earlier on a wreck at a 100'.
Guess they missed a part of the class.

Found a fairly new 403 stainless dive sword in Boca Raton. gave me fits on what do do with it for the rest of the dive (didn't want to poke myself or my buddy). Found a garden sprayer filled with unknown liquid floating offshore, found a cheap plastic lobster gauge on an aluminum carabiner and nice lanyard. Lost it again before I got home.
Found a HEAVY weight belt near the United Caribbean (south of the wreck), but didn't even try to retrieve it (there had to be 20lbs on that sucker).
Another diver found a boat hook, with the price tag still on it.

Things I have found in the Pacific Ocean:
a $20 note and a $10 note. Quite a few banknotes began washing up on a Gold Coast beach about 20 years ago, and my brother and I found some while snorkelling. According to the police, it was probably from the briefcase of a car yard employee who had emptied his boss's bank account and taken off with the boss's secretary about eight years earlier. They jumped into a light aircraft and were flying off to begin a new life when they crashed into the sea just off the coast at night in bad weather. Eight years later, money started washing up on the beach after the wreck began breaking up. So far no-one has found the aircraft. do do do do...
Also found...
a beer keg (see pic)
a tennis ball being guarded by a rock cod (see pic)
a set of dumbells
an Evinrude outboard motor
a bath
hundreds of golf balls
a fishing rod (banged about and no good to anyone)
a large stingray buried in the sand. I saw a stick poking out of the sand and went to pull it out. It was the ray's tail. I'm not sure which of us jumped the highest! :11:
P.S. Not me, but a dive school operator told me of an unusual find he had made. He arrived with his boat and class of OW students at their usual training reef off Forster. At the bottom of the anchor line they found a 15' great white shark with its head stuck in a crevice in the rocks. Apparently it had got its head stuck chasing a turtle or fish, and by the time they found it, it was almost dead but still twitching occasionally. The dive operator waited for the twitching to stop, secured a rope around the shark's tail and dragged it behind his boat back into town. It was in all the papers at the time.

Well...at our open water cert dives we found a UK light and on our last dive before leaving Destin we found a snorkel. Other than that, just golf balls and the like.

My husband found a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses (not cheap), really nice pair at about 80 ft. under. Must not have been under long, no rust - talk about an "treasure" 
Me? Not much but the usual, weight, snorkel, etc....

Myself and another diver found a wagon wheel at the bottom of the Marmora River in Ontario, Canada. We brought it up and now it is in the museum in Marmora. There are a few more down there but they are very heavy. They told us they were pretty old.

I've found dozens of down rigger balls, fishing lures, anchors, a pair of Oakley sunglasses (which I still wear to this day), golf balls, old china from between 1880-1920 ( based on what I could find out about the brand), and a pair of fishing poles, complete with a ball of snarled fishing line about 3 ft across ( guy must of got pis**d when they got snarled together and tossed the whole lot) that I didn't dare touch.
