Today I had three success stories. Will start out with the first and most stingiest of folk who I have ever helped.

Decided to go out on my boat today and I was putting everything on the dock. Well one item didn't want to stay put and I had to watch it sink into the black depths. This was a very rare item also. The middle and end shafts for the Equinox 800. So I have to gear up and go in as this was in 8' of water. I found it and the owner didn't want to pay me a dime. Cheap person anyway.



So we go out on the boat. My coin finds out there were TWO CENTS. Zincolns at that. And I found what was left of a 1.00 bill. My best find was a pair of Gucci sunglasses. I lost one of my pennies and Kevin had to rub it in that I lost half my finds. Oh I also found a stainless steel dog dish.



















Kevin on the other hand got two 10K rings with diamonds in them 4.66 grams of gold total. 4 quarters, dime nickel and penny, an anchor, a 14.5 X 19 Volvo aluminum prop and a mooring rope, AND the nose cone to a WW1 bomb.

So we get back to the marina and we are getting cleaned up and my phone rings. An I phone went swimming at a marina two marina's away. I tell them I will be there in 15 minutes. I get there and suit up and it takes me about a minute to snag the phone. I shocked everyone around at how fast I found it in pitch black water. I get out and get my wet suit off. My phone rings again! Less than two miles away a 35' racer lost a prop right after it launched. Told them I would be right there. They had a diver use two tanks of air and he couldn't find it. Black water and I was thinking of feeling for it but I decided to use the CZ-21. I had it in less than 10 minutes. They were very happy. I guess a new critter was 1800.00 for this toy.



More happy customers. Sorry no picture of the phone recovery.

If you'd saved me that much money on a prop I would've driven you straight to the liquor store and bought you anything you wanted. Great job, man! Here's hoping the good karma comes back around in the form of a fantastic find soon!
 

Thank you for sharing!

I always love to hear about your water adventures! :icon_thumleft:
 

Awesome post, Scuba...always enjoy seeing you save the day for those butter-fingered peeps out there...and those who forget to torque the nuts attaching their expense race props to their expensive boats. Kudos..Ddf

Actually the nut that holds on the prop was still on the shaft. Strange propeller. It had a special washer that held the prop and the nut was against the washer. I guess the marina used the wrong washer and it broke sending the propeller off the shaft. Strange setup on that race boat.
