It wasn't underwater, but we recently found a great wetsuit in the middle of a road when we were out running errands. The wetsuit was in great shape and we gave it to a friend!

I found my buddies false teeth sinking to the bottom. Now do you retrieve the teeth? ! Was the dive a full recovery?

I found an old metal key last dive trip, I thought that was cool. My husband found a really nice dive light.

so far I havent found much in the lines of "valuable" but here is a list so far:

TONS of golfballs
tackle Box Full of...tackle!
Self generating flashlight (worked underwater until crank broke!)
2 Coleman lanterns
4 Pair of Sun glasses, funny thing is they had the neck straps on them
A trillion beer bottles
1 Full Corona that appeared to have been left recently...taste testing later proved me wrong
A heavy lead Ball (had to use a BC to bring it up)

Im sure I will find more as i dive in areas that are less remote hah...
