I haven't been swimming regularly since late March, but last week I hopped in the lake and went for a short swim (~1100m). As I was arriving back at the beach, look what I found. It was folded up in about four feet of water. From the looks of the bill it was underwater for awhile.
That got me thinking... I wonder what other people have found while swimming that they didn't expect. Baby Ruths in pools don't count, nor does swimming with the explicit purpose of finding stuff (e.g., scuba diving to collect fish for your marine aquarium), or finding stuff while you were on dry land.

I found a wedding ring in the pool a few months ago. I swam past it the whole practice staring at it because I didn't feel like interrupting my set to pick it up. Grabbed it at the end though and gave it to the lifeguard. Prolly coulda hocked it for some quick cash, but maybe the karma will help me out. Some day, when i lose my sanity, someone will find it for me on the bottom of the pool and give it back.
