Here's a new one, for me at least.
I was out freediving, with my scooter, last night on this old sunken frieghter out in Lake Michigan. I was off of the wreck looking for lost dive gear and came across this giant Barbie doll with a 4# weight zip-tied to her feet. Someone had scrolled on her arm "Sean is gay" and "I love Brad".
I might have swum upon someone's joke, but I could always use another weight for something.

Yeah those blonde haired, blued eyed babes do love me. Don't know who Sean is though.

I bet that was a fright when you first saw it rofl
OK not freediving but scuba, I found a gold signet ring in the Menai straights in 1978, the bummer was that it was still on someones finger! It turned out that a fisherman had lost it in some rigging as we were underwater!.
So did I take the ring? UUUUGH NO! I screamed and shot off like a swordfish!

I've never found anything in our Wisconsin lakes . Today was my first big test as a freediver though, i was so excited! At my grandma's lake their is a sand bar, and one side drops off from 4 ft. too 20 ft. The other side is my favorite to dive, it's 20-40 ft. deep, then drops off to 75 ft. A couple was anchored in the area i was diving, and while their baby was playing on the boat, he threw their keys overboard!!! They were stranded out in the water until they noticed me going up and down. They asked me how deep i could go, i shrugged and said about 30-40. They had obviously never heard of freediving, they were taking back. They thought i was joking and comically asked me if i could find their keys. I said sure, pulled my makeshift float next to their boat, and on my first dive i found the keys in about 33-34 ft. of water. They thanked me, but i didnt get any reward because all they had was beer, and it's "illegal" for 15 yr. olds to drink..... who made that dumb rule? I got a thank you, which is enough for me, and they got to go home.
This doesn't really count as "finding", but i'm a big golfer. When i'm board, i take my sand wedge and pink golf balls. I chip them into the water and come back in at night once i find all of them. I'm easily amused

Reviving a great thread.
So far, after three trips I have found:
An elastic dogleash.
Lots of lures, weights, line, etc.
A pair of crappy sunglasses.
A pair of Oakley sunglasses (old, but wearable).
A pair of Dolce Gabbana sunglasses (waiting to be pawned).
A Snorkel (Now in use...what?!? I bleached it!).
A cheap but functional digital watch (now in use).
Several CO2 cartridges (empty of course)
Cans, Bottles, Boxes, Paper, and other bric-a-brac.
And I'm going out again tonight to see what else is out there for me.
Hmmm...no golfballs yet, maybe I am not looking hard enough. =-)

P.S. Wouldn't it just make more sense to make golf balls float?

Eyal, Eerz told me he found a vase once while freediving in sidney ally. he dragged it to shore by diving, lifting, dragging, dropping, surfacing, breathing, repeat. Took him some hours. He called the archeology dept. and to report and they told him he can keep it and that they had enough of those.
