Underwater with the fishes
Today I had three success stories. Will start out with the first and most stingiest of folk who I have ever helped.

Decided to go out on my boat today and I was putting everything on the dock. Well one item didn't want to stay put and I had to watch it sink into the black depths. This was a very rare item also. The middle and end shafts for the Equinox 800. So I have to gear up and go in as this was in 8' of water. I found it and the owner didn't want to pay me a dime. Cheap person anyway.



So we go out on the boat. My coin finds out there were TWO CENTS. Zincolns at that. And I found what was left of a 1.00 bill. My best find was a pair of Gucci sunglasses. I lost one of my pennies and Kevin had to rub it in that I lost half my finds. Oh I also found a stainless steel dog dish.



















Kevin on the other hand got two 10K rings with diamonds in them 4.66 grams of gold total. 4 quarters, dime nickel and penny, an anchor, a 14.5 X 19 Volvo aluminum prop and a mooring rope, AND the nose cone to a WW1 bomb.



So we get back to the marina and we are getting cleaned up and my phone rings. An I phone went swimming at a marina two marina's away. I tell them I will be there in 15 minutes. I get there and suit up and it takes me about a minute to snag the phone. I shocked everyone around at how fast I found it in pitch black water. I get out and get my wet suit off. My phone rings again! Less than two miles away a 35' racer lost a prop right after it launched. Told them I would be right there. They had a diver use two tanks of air and he couldn't find it. Black water and I was thinking of feeling for it but I decided to use the CZ-21. I had it in less than 10 minutes. They were very happy. I guess a new critter was 1800.00 for this toy.



More happy customers. Sorry no picture of the phone recovery.

I'd say the stainless dog dish was your best find...do you have a dog? Nice recovery on that prop too!
 
scuba to the rescue again !! But gee, No run-in's with busy-body LEO's ? Haha, great post & play-by-play as usual :cool:
 
:dingding: OK, you get the dinger even if you're being secretive about the cash but I am sure it was good! :gettinmoney:
 
If that tightwad don't squeak out some kind of pay, just toss his rare and expensive doohickie right back off the dock. :laughing:
Good post SCUBAD!

btw, nice coin-popper too!
 
Nice work Scuba! I just watched a you tube vid on boat props, was curious on how they attached to the motor and how they get lost, must of not tightened down the nut enough eh?
