What is the coolest thing you have recovered during a dive?

I didn't actually FIND it. People put this stuff there on purpose. But there is a toilet and a Buddah chained to the wall at the grotto.

After being first cirtified in Okinawa Japan, site of one of the big battles of WWII, we used to find bomb craters around the landing sites of the invation. We found many, many live artilary rounds laying in the water. Tons of spent shells and lead bullets.

Found a nice sharks tooth off the cost of Florida.

Diving on some of the Civil War wrecks off the SC cost I've found brass parts off guns, brass deck railing mounts and piles of shot, most likely used for balast.

But the most interesting thing was a fully decorated Christmas tree weighted and sunk. It was tied to several cinder blocks so it was flooting a few feet off the bottom and from a distance through the merkey water of the lake it looked kind of freaky, like something was looming just in front of us.

Nothing of real value.

coolest thing I have recovered, but it definately caused a lot of interest among us divers. LOL

While diving in a local river about a week ago, I found a really LARGE white lace bra. In mint condition, entangled in some weeds.

I found a quarter during my first pool session 13 years ago. Since then, I have found a cool Green Bottle (Dating probably to the late 1800's) and I found a Timex Ironman on a wreck. Hey it took a licking and kept on ticking, I actually still wear it.
