Yesterday I found and retrieved a piece of jewelry from the bottom of the pool. This is my ninth piece (mostly earrings) for the year, a new PR. They have all been cheap/fashion pieces except for one, which was a tiny antique silver pendant with a diamond chip in it. Why you'd wear jewelry into a pool is a mystery to me, but it takes all kinds.
Anyone else ever find anything interesting?

I'm not sure if this counts, but once while snorkeling from a resort dive boat in Bermuda, I found a 3/4 carat diamond on a gold chain.
It was in about 20 feet of water, on a sandy bottom. For some reason, I saw a glimmer on the bottom and swam to it.
No one on the boat owned it, so I kept it to give to my (then-girlfriend, now) wife. She took one look at it, said "It's a flawed stone", and wouldn't wear it. I guess it proves the adage, "You get what you pay for".
