Found and aluminum ladder from a dive boat at 240ft, brought it up with a lift bag. Turns out it was a ladder lost by the charter owner 15 years prior.
 
found a gopro on last dive, then found its owner lol
 
last week i found a cookie that belonged to someone i know. now he owes me a drink!

finding an arrow or cookie is easy. it's the fact that it's someone i know who was last there 8 months ago that makes it a treasure to me. :wink:
 
Best treasure I ever found?

I walked into the water one day in 2000 and there it was... the Ocean. Everything else is just gravy.

Nothing really fancy. I did find a really nice filet knife once that I gave to the charter boat owner.
 
Mask and snorkel. For shell collecting an Atlantic Tritons Trumpet and a 7" Atlantic Deer Cowrie.
 
As far as the computer and GoPro, how'd you guys find the owner?

I haven't found anything exciting. An old watch that I ended up throwing away because it was badly damaged, and a couple really nice anchors that I couldn't do anything with as I didn't have a lift bag then as a new diver.
 
Countless weight belts, a compound bow in a river once (which I assume was from a bow fishing charter) that was all kinds of seized up, so it was not good.

Oh, and I found an Oceanic Pioneer mask a few months ago! It's now my new primary and my old faithful ScubaPro Orbit serves as my backup. By the way, the Oceanic Pioneer mask is pretty sweet. The one I found had a yellow frame
 
I was going to say my husband...but after diving with my niece today in a bubblemaker class, it was the look on her face at the end of the dive.

But last weekend I found a brick from between 1901 and 1913 at the bottom of a lake in northern WI. Pretty cool stuff.
