A faint signal, a tough push on the scoop and something I never expected to find was in my scoop.

It was Davy Jones' duck pin bowling ball, engraved with his initials! At first I thought it was a water ball, one that “floats” on a water fountain. It barely fit into my scoop. Almost forgetting about the signal, I was about to dump the scoop but decided not to, but rather to keep the beautifully colored globe. SMART move as hidden under the ball were two dolphins, each with a diamond “eye”.

Nice score WW, glad you didn't throw it away before looking it over.

It never ceases to amaze me what we can find in the water. I found an old 14K wax seal this Winter in the water that WASN'T a ring...go figure, how the heck did that get in the H2o.
