A few years ago, while operating an off-shore charter fishing business in Texas, I dropped an 8' heavy guage aluminum "rig hook" overboard next to a rig we were fishing. Two years later, I was crusing the sand bottom on the same rig spearing snapper. I saw what I thought to be a loop of rope protruding from the sand. As I began to pull on the line it began coming out of the sand. I kept pulling and behold!! My "rig hook" Still have the rig hook and use it to this day.
Jewelry: My wife found an ear stud with what she thought were nine fake diamonds. It layed around for the better part of a year. Last week we were having some jewelry and watches fixed and the jeweler told her the diamonds were real. It is now a beautiful pendant!! Her cost $125.00 Total value (priceless to her)
An instructor friend of mine in Utila lost a ring on a reef dive. The next day we stopped at the same reef so he could look for it. I went along to enjoy the dive knowing it was a lark!! Guess what? He found the ring!!!
