I found an Abu 6500 in a Crown Royal bag in the desk drawer of a fish camp hotel room, once. That was 25 years ago, and the reel still works...;)

I found a huge bag of narcotics one time. To bad that isn't my thing. I sure that would have been considered a find. Oh, ya....I did find a dead body once, does that count for anything? Come to think about it, when you add those 2 isolated incidents together, it makes it sound like I don't fish in very safe places. But they were about 130 miles and 15 years apart form each other.
Don't ever find a dead body while fishing. By the time the cops are done questioning you, taking your footprints, your tire prints and generally doing their job, your fishing time is pretty much spent.

couple years ago while hunting I found a wallet still had the ID, all credit cards, and $50.00 cash in it, I returned it to the owner, of course it was someone that hunted with us (we hunt privately owned property) he had lost the wallet 12 years earlier

Best find was a fishing rod, one of those with the hollowed out butt to allow you to stow your lure in it.....Can't remember the name, it was like a $30 rod. I have never bought a beach chair, as I have found a couple in the suds late at night during low tide and these keep on getting it done.

I was out on OI years ago and had spent all my $$ on fresh shrimp and :beer: the night before. While fishing I noticed I had less than 1/4 tank of gas and a long ride back to Chesapeake in a guzzler. I told my ex-wife (we were married at the time, so don't get ideas!) that we needed money from her stash for gas. "What stash? Spent it on shrimp!" :eek:
I said I would reel in this "last cast" and borrow $10 from our friend Ed who was out there with us. As I reeled in my rig I felt a slight tug. Very slight. As it came through the surf I saw my "fish" was bright blue. When I picked it up, (true story), it was a velco wrist wallet with $17.46 in it!!! No BULL! Had enough for gas and another 12 pack!!!
Only years later did I equate that Big Blue Money Fish to God trying to get my attention. How else does a velcro wrist wallet find it's way onto my hook in the entire Atlantic ocean?
PM me for my ex wifes phone number to verify!!!:D

I found a really nice velcro wading belt with a pair of pliers in a sheath, along with about 10 glass minnows hooked on to it at the Point last year. I was wading out on the 1st bar and looked down and saw the plier. When I pulled up on the pliers, I got the rest of the treasure. It was a nice find. Some new hooks for the glass minnows and WD-40 for the pliers and it was all good to go. I still use the wading belt to this day.

I lose a lot more than I find. I lost a $60 Kershaw knife this summer. I also had a $700 handmade custom knife launch from my front pocket into the drink from the end of Frisco pier in September.......note to self, tie lanyard to knife when throwing cast net from pier. Fortunately I managed to find a couple of kids with flippers, snorkels, and masks who wanted to earn some cash on a treasure hunt. $300 later, I had my knife back.:redface:

when i was clamming i once found a pistol. I guess that was pretty cool.
BTW i just left my favorite knife that i had for 10 years on the Longport Jetty on Sunday. Actually i think a wave might have knocked it down into the rocks. If anyone found a cool Rambo lookin knife there PM me i will give money to get it back.

a 1960s vintage Colt's Gold Cup 45ACP, that i found in the trunk of a "junk car" which we were taking out to sink in an "artificial reef" off the TX coast. (the local sheriff said there was NO WAY to know whose it was, so to keep it.)

Lost lots of stuff due to the dead braincell area in my head...;)
Not too many finds but a couple years ago I bought a $500 beater BMW here in Germany and when I cleaned it out I found a crown royal bag full of change(us and euro). The guy I bought the car from had already left for the states and told me to keep it. Cashed it in and it came up to $485!!:eek: Not a bad deal I would say! :D

my brothers and i were once driving around trying to find a fishing spot someone told us about.:fishing:
we were pretty lost and after turning down another wrong road (by my sugestion) we hit a dead end with a railroad track.
as we are turning around i spot something under a large rock by the tracks. shout at my brother to stop the car got out and it turned out that it was a large envelope filled of 20 and 50$ bills:eek:.
:popcorn::popcorn:
would have took the money and ran but my brother in laws dad is a cop.
we drove down to the station and the cop inside said that if nobody claims the money in 2 months then its all yours.
went back to the station 2 months later and walked out with 6,440$
never end up finding that spot but it was worth it.:D:D:D

Nice find ... I actually found a very similar knife (Buck) maybe 15 years ago, whike trout fishing in PA.
Once I found a fishing pole and reel, in the pole holder, with the line in the water :eek:
Left it alone, figuring the owner would come back for it. Went fishing the next day and it was still there ... fished for 3 hrs, and packed up to go home and it was still there ... took it with me. It was nothing special (maybe a $40 combo), so I figured I'd add it to my collection ... later I gave the pole to a young fisherman who wanted to fish but didn't have any equipment ... gave him an assortment of tackle to go with it ... made his day :D
