didn't think there would be many egyptian pounds floating round Dorethea or manchester for that matter.
yo yo all!! 
hmm not too many "weird" things... but so far
while workin the beaches.. tons of money, wallets, perfect condition sunglasses (and nice ones too, revo, oakly, bolle, etc).
found a case of twisted teas once at a popular snorkel spot... was like 40ft down..guess they had it on the edge of the boat, nad no one could go down to get it.
and best was a $6000 engagement/wedding ring set. that one made me a happy college kid
oh and gotta add, the name of this thread is perfect... my firefox taskbar button simply reads "Objects found".. so i can hide it from the boss, but as an IT guy, its not terribly alerting too him as opposed to "Facebook..."

Maybe there was a skull nearby
.Might have mentioned this before but a few years ago a local diver picked up a fin which he took to the police station. Hardly worth it you say. Had a human foot still in it. Turned out to belong to one of our (many) dead commercial scallop divers.

Wow - do a lot of them die? How come?
Three 12L tanks a day at 150ft.
Actually they don't all die some are just paralyzed.

Damn... the way people pillage the sea makes me sick to my guts... greed is the most vile of the many horrible attributes we possess as a species.
oh i also helped salvage a hell of alot of stuff from a sunken yacht they gave me a whole load of free fishing tackle =) pays to be first on the seen but would not try swimming 50 yards out in jeans any time soon
Sounds like the sort of thing that should be handed into the local police -- if its not claimed (in the UK at least) after a certain time, it becomes yours....

Yes there may have been a murder investigation after someone losing that :martial :crutch

Woody Allen's "Match Point" movie plot tells me I'm with Mr. X on the ring issue. :t
From movie plot:
"The day following the murder (...) Chris gets a call from Detective Mike Banner for questioning in relation to the Eastby murder. Before the questioning, Chris dumps Mrs. Eastby's jewelry into the river, but by chance her ring bounces on the railing and falls unnoticed on the sidewalk. (...). Detective Banner figures out Chris' crime. His theory is, however, discredited by the fact a drug peddler found murdered on the streets had Eastby's ring in his pocket (...). The killer has gotten away with his crime".

I found a nice bomb last Saturday. I was looking for a handhold while on the bottom, and thought "Ahh, that looks OK". It was only while holding it that I figured out what it was. It was covered in a light growth, wedged between two rocks. The fin section had long rusted away, leaving the warhead. I'm guessing its WW2, weighing around 150-200lb, as it had been there for a long time.
