I should ask "Does what they're wearing count?"
What is the coolest thing you have recovered during a dive?

A civil war era canon from a ship off the SC coast, a parrot gun is what I think it is called. This was a group effort, but I was part of it.

I'll preface this by saying it is only hearsay from a former buddy, but I have no reason to doubt him. So, it's definitely not something I found, but still interesting.
Apparently, he was out on a typical reef dive here in SoFl and, when peering into a crevice, saw a watch. And a Rolex, to boot. He went to pick it up--and found that it was still attached to a hand. Just the hand.
Like I said, I can't vouch for that story, but he claims he had to got through all sorts of police interviewing, etc. afterward, so I'm inclined to believe him........then again, I've been known to be pretty gullible.

A crate end printed with the address for a fig company that was sitiuated two blocks from where I live. I tried to give it back to the rightfull owners but they had vacated the place 80 years ago.

Silver Coins from 1714, cannon balls from 1715, pottery shards, from 1715, boat spikes, lead shething, from 1830, bullets from the 1940's, anchors, fishing reels, knives, flintlock gun with 6' barrel, and lots of Encrusted Objects (EO's). I'm still looking for gold and someday soon, maybe tommorrow I'll find it. 
A 1721 gold louie and a 1759 Spanish Pillar dollar with a rare combination of mint mark and sayers mark.
