WHOA!.....what a find!...did you use an md to find these or could you get them just by sight?...Thanks for sharing...
When I lived on a northern california river that rented many canoes, my son and friends used to dive down around the places where the canoes (piloted by mostly totally inexperienced boaters) would typically tip over...he found similar stuff...once he even found a whole wallet, driver's license and all, so we were able to return it to it's owner...
Congrats!

Those clumsy kids with their cell phones and shades. :laughing7:
Bring back the old days when the kids did handstands in the water to impress their friends (while wearing their 18K necklaces and oversized rings). :icon_pirat:

Made a decent dive today. Ended up with 2 iPhone 5's, Samsung Galaxy 4, IPod, junkie cell phone, 17 pairs of shades(including oakleys), ladies watch, 5 1 dollar bills, car keys etc.

Yes I'm in NorCal too, these were all eyeball finds at 20 ft depth. Believe it or not the phones can be dried out and sold for $100 each on EPay.

Well, Congrats!....I'm impressed...When I used to live on the Russian River, Johnson's Beach was always a favorite hunting ground...especially after events like the Jazz Festival....went out early the day after the Festival and was amazed to see at least 10 other Treasure Hunters....3 or 4 of them in the river ...one guy only had a mask, snorkels and an inner tube and he was scoring!...
Come to find out, most of serious hunters had been there at midnight the night before!...
I found some clad on the beach but nothing special...
Since you're going 20 feet down, I assume you're at a lake...to be willing to go that deep, and get equipment necessary to do so, deserves those great finds....Keep going!

Great weather around here for diving (hot and miserably humid), but the river level is pretty low for it. Thinking about hunting a couple of gravel-bars, but I don't expect to find the goodies you came up with.
