Gold and silver - every week. Down the bottom end of the pool along with bandaids and other unspeakable stuff. Fan gently with fin and you're left with the heavies, including jewellery. Hand in big stuff. Fastenings and single links in the pot to be sold as scrap.

on a recent dive with my daughter we had gone down twice on the same wreck.

A princeton tec 8 c-cell light in perfect shape was found on the second dive. My daughter hadn't realized she had lost it on the 1st dive.

The wire tie had come off.

Now all my eqpt is secured to snap links with nylon cords- looped ,tied, and with melted ends . I recommend this precaution to all. Wire ties aren't to be trusted for your valuable accessories. MK
 
When I was about 15 I was diving off a rock ledge off Isla Verde in Puert Rico and while sifting around for who knows what I found something stuck in the sand. I began to sift away, whatever it was it was suctioned in the sand. I kept digging away until it gave way. I surfaced with it from about 40 feet. After careful observation between my dad and my uncle the only conclusion was that I may have found a pirates wood peg leg....I'm serious...don't know what else it could be. I still have it till this day.
