Students masks, fins, snorkels, and weights. Fishing rods, piff helmet, rock climbing helmet, 6 cell phones, best was an 1800's boys wing shoe in 45fsw just resting upright in the mud bottom, my "buddy" was doing a photo advanced dive with my camera and I could not get his attention, so no pic. After I retrieved my camera I could not find the shoe again.
That's a bummer, I would have loved to see a pic.of it. Was it and an area of a shipwreck or a harbor?
ZDD
 
It was in a local lake near a historic hotel.

I've found plenty of bits of dive gear, around popular spots. A couple of anchors. Got a whole stack of frisbees - I keep finding them faster than the dogs can chew them up. Once found a whole set of golf clubs scattered around a 100-foot area. Someone stood on a bridge and threw them into the water, one at a time, then tossed the bag.

But the best was the time that my own car keys squirted out of my pocket when I was drifting around in a boat, trying to start a balky outboard. I quickly took two sightings on distant landmarks, as per boyscout training, went and got my dive gear, and quartered the area (100% kelp coverage). Found them. :wink:
 
intentionally ? I'm writing a book about that. unintentionally a 20,000.00 peso note, 1700's p.haering bottle, a fake gold bar (aluminum) that was used in a scuba diving promotion in the Bahamas, cannon balls, old gun flints, anchors, fishing poles, cigarette lighters, golf balls, our dive instructors edge computer, a dive knife, a .38 caliber revolver (turned in to sheriffs dept.), lots of sinkers and fishing lures, a fish stuck on a rock with fishing line. I did cut him loose. some really cool rocks.
