Most Unusal Find WHile Snorkling?

[Randus62]

Found a pontoon from a pontoon once, but that was about it.

Found a 10 dollar bill while snorkeling in Hawaii.

If anyone goes snorkeling in St Thomas, maybe you will find my Drivers Lic. Lost it while swimming there. Did not have a passport or other ID, but was able to get back using a company ID card.

Found 2 $100 bills.. made my day!

Wow! I only found a $50 bill snorkeling at HMC. :D

gold anklet chain - Antigua Long Bay

I asked around on shore but no-one there had lost it (people were very honest - no-one tried to claim it) - so I now own it.

[jimswims]

I lost 260.00 and a gold anklet when I went snorkeling. Come to think of it, I think my pontoon is missing as well!!!

 

But seriously, I have mostly found cool shells and fish when I snorkel. A few times I saw a huge eel and a squid or octopus and also sea turtles.

Cuddlefish....it had zoned in on it's prey and was mesmerizing it with that thing they do. They point right at the fish and rapidly change colors from fron to back and then...zap! They sling that tenticle with the barbed dart out and the fish dissappears somewhere inside the rest of the arms. Coooll!:D

I really don't dive or snorkel (have a couple of times but just too much of a chicken). I read this thread thinking it would be interesting and it is. How do you find paper money? Does it not dissolve in the water?? I am completely amazed by this.

Money doesnt dissolve, it just gets wet, its not the kind of paper you get out of a printer... Some currency is even made out of plastic.

Like the currency in New Zealand and Romania....wow, pretty money, but really weird feeling and very unusual!

 

Guess I need to start looking harder for stuff:p....I am paying WAY too much attention to the sea life!:eek:

We found a credit card once!

 

Turned it in back at the ship, turns out it wasn't someone from our ship so they were going to contact the other ship that was in port that day. Didn't want to walk the beach asking if someone lost a credit card!

A white octopus swaying on a rock with the current.

you guys are so lucky finding this money!!! I need to be looking out more for this. It is hard to think of everything, but I guess the coolest things were BIG-a nurse shark off St John, and and an enourmous-I am talking VW sized- jew fish in Akumal. Oh and the very best- a giant pod (25 +) of spinner dolphins in about 50-75 ft of water at Place of Refuge on the Big Island of Hawaii- my flippers grew wings and took off with them for a while. No I do not recommend tears of joy in a mask...but try and not be blown away.

A pink croc (see CC fashions and beauty!!) :D

[SnorkelLady]

Some interesting stuff: gold wedding band (I tried very hard to find the owner), a $20 bill (I bought rum on the way back to the ship) and a human femor (leg bone. Totally freaked out the woman at the hotel desk when I reported it).

[Scubachick84]

I was snorkeling off the beach of a closed up Club Med hotel on Eleuthera. The hotel was closed after a hurricane. All over the back side of the reef were beach lounge chairs. They had been there for years. Very unusual sight!

The funny side of my discovery of a $50 bill was that I am extremely buoyent and could not dive down 10 feet to get it. I had my DH retrieve it for me :D. I usually find money on shore dives/snorkels, and I am willing to bet most money comes out of men's swim trunks.

In Tortola I found a fully intact skeleton of a pelican on the reef. Apparently it had somehow met an untimely death and the fish, et al, took advantage of the situation and picked it clean. The "wish bone" wasn't even broken. Looked like a dinosaur skeleton you'd see in a museum. :)

We were in Martinique several years ago and went snorkeling at a local beach. Many of the men ( my DH included) came back after snorkeling to report how many "boobie fish" they had seen. (French island~topless beaches) MEN!!!!

Did you ever find out where, who:eek:, it came from??
