Things you've found under water

This thread makes me wonder what an ounce of lead is worth these days.

recovered a mens platinum wedding band with my metal detector in about 40 ft of water. That was last summer. About a week ago i placed an ad on craigslist.com to see if i could locate the owner and a reporter contacted me from Boston. I spoke with him and he is using my story/find in a bigger story he is writing and it should be running this weekend. They even sent a photographer to my house.

First find was a golf ball - and that was GREAT!!!
The Next year an anchor with full line - AlRight!!!.

This thread tells me it only gets better!!!!
Can't wait - btw - which year do I find the merrmaid?

 

[divedeepnj]

I've found the usual dive related equipment, such as dive compass, weights which were obviously there for several years, brand new cars as well as old ones. The more interesting items were live .50 caliber bullets from a WW2 aircraft with the steel links still attached. Also live bombs from the same. And this isn't from the ocean, just a local lake!!

Have you contacted the local lake patrol about this? They might want to have military EOD divers come and detonate these things in place. Old munitions become so unstable that they can detonate on their own. A careless diver could never be seen again.
