Super once in a lifetime find. One not to be forgotten. Congratulations, CASPER.
 

The clip shoulda been 18k and the stars big rubies. NICE!
 

Did you run an ad in the local newspaper for “Dad” so you could return it? :laughing7:
 

Awesome recovery, congrats! :occasion14:

IF I LIVED DOWN THERE - I MAY HAVE...ive returned a few rings i was able to track down - down there
 

Here's the story behind finding it - i was hunting with a buddy from down there - place we hit is a Latino beach and they have a game where they shoot pennies at a floating cup or
for distance and supposedly bet on it so the shallows are littered with pennies - I found like 200 one day - so we mostly skip the shallows - plus they litter the shallows with bottle caps
and foil from some van that sells BBQ - My friend usually uses a mask and snorkel and dives 6+ft area and I will do chest to as far as i can reach - so we were there like 4 hrs - sun was beating on my head and i started to get a migraine - his wife and my GF were on shore - i yelled to my gal "you got tylenol" and i started to head in - waist deep I got a blast and figured it was just a hunk of junk
i checked in ID mode and it rang high which is usually good on CZ21 - I took one scoop and kept walking and i saw rectangular lump of mud and it looked like a lead battery terminal
i shook scoop and saw the DAD but money was caked in gray mud - i got to shore and pulled it out and thought it was just paper wadded up then i saw it was bills - i took a sip of water from
plastic cup - took my piulls and then dropped it into fresh water and took the wad of bills out and they slowwly started to part - told my girl to just leave it and now and then shake it to see if more
of the mud would come off - slowly it did - what a surprise - you can tell it had been there a little while and this place gets hit but others must avoid that area too - just lucky for me i had
a headache:tongue3:
 

Allright all those rings and cash also Im moving to Florida lol very nice find
 

Gotta learn to scuba first
 

Gotta save to get scuba gear lol
 

I'd say that was a good day !
 

Fantastic find...…...Congrats.
 

that would have been killer to leave in one lump. Maybe in a clear pourable. The $100.00 is nice but the find is priceless. Congrats.
 

Casper, what was the newest date on the money?
never thought to look - but dont believe it was too old - due to only a few bills being eaten in this bunch
i have found a fair amount of bills - in fresh and salt water over the years - over $300 worth
and nothing over a $20 and have found others that were eaten up but not too old
