Things you've found under water

[BTravlin]

I found a real nice dive knife in Roatan. I was showing it off on the boat after the dive when one of the other divers realized it was his. :11doh:

My $3000.00 camera rig lost for 8 weeks at the bottom of Lake Lanier, the Ikelite housing didn't leak a drop and everything works! Thank God and everyone who helped along the way.

Back in 1999 I was diving at an old cannery site where I had collected old antique bottles in the past. I started looking in an area I had previously looked in before and with in minutes or two I found an old heavy tea pot. It was inside a broken spittone upside down and not covered in silt. I guess the week before there was a storm and it uncovered thick sediment that had previously covered the entire area. With a bit of investigation it turns out to be a boat Captains personal teapot from the 1840-1860 era. It is solid sterling silver with ivory insets in the handle. The neat thing about this pot is the small 2.5" knife concealed in the handle. What the heck would you use that for? The initial on the pot is the letter "D". I lightly cleaned it with baking soda and warm water, otherwise it looks like I found it. Thats about all know about it. My wife wants to bring it to the Antique Roadshow next time they are in the area.

For now my kids put their chicken egg money in it when they sell their eggs to the niegbors.

Cheers,
