Things you've found under water

[Spratman]

I was diving a quarry hole back in March that was undove prior to me and my buddies going in. I was kidding with the owner that we'd let him know about any dead bodies we found it in, since it's well hidden from the roads.

We went out about 30 ft from shore and found a rusted out 55 gal drum, viz was about two feet. I circled around it looking inside and I found a what looked to be a forearm bone! Man, the old pucker factor went to about 12!!! :11:

Didn't find anything else around it, so we guessed it was probably a deer leg bone that probably crashed through the ice.

However, there were no other bones....

A vase with a plastic bag filled with ashes - funeral urn?

A small brass box that contained a crucifix, a small glass jar of ashes and bone fragments, a lock of hair and ruined remnants of photographs.

(I wish people would not leave that kind of stuff where divers are likely to stumble upon it. I did not know what these things were until after I had already disturbed them)

boat anchors

Fishing tackle box, rod and reel

many sunglasses

many cheap masks, fins (but no matching pair)

one good mask

A working dive light

A working digital watch

Tank booties

fishing lures

fossils

Some eyeglasses belonging to a kid on shore who had just lost them - search and recovery!

the remants of the hull of a wooden motor boat

A painted metal sign for a resort

A fishing net with a handle

Things I have lost: a Sypderco knife, a strob light.

And last but not least... my buddies and I found a "Volkswagon Thing". It must have fallen off a barge between Bimini and the wreck of the Sapona!

Jeez...I always thought that people actually SPREAD the ashes at sea, not dropped them in in the handy dandy zip lock! (what a way to go!) Remind me to tell my wife SPREAD THE ASHES don't just toss the baggie in!

here's a macabre story.... I was at a Penn State football game about 10 years ago, and these really drunk guys sitting in front of us were talking about "AL" the whole game "Al would be loving this, AL would be drunker than us" etc. Well after the game, I saw the same guys looking around making sure no one of any authority was watching, then unloading a small zip lock bag full of ashes on the field!


Anyway...back to the gist of the thread... I've only found a crappy snorkel keeper! nothing fun! One guy I dove with found an old oval mask, and a casio watch once!

cheap pearl braclet with heart and silver thingies, lots of sinkers, earrings (none matching), fossil leg bones, vertebrae, and jawbone. A section of license plate, fossilized sand dollar still in the limestone. Lots of driftwood which looks real cool in my aquarium and a few other people's.
