    I lost a $600 diving watch when it was ripped off my wrist by the water while white water kayaking...it's sitting in the bottom of at least 200' of water.

    I also lost a wallet with some cash while canoeing one time.

    Lost a watch in 150' of water. Recovered a 100 hp outboard from 60' for an idiot who didn't secure it to his new boat. Nearly lost my arm to a barracuda when it seemed to want to taste my diving watch.

    A pair of Ray Ban aviators at the bottom of the New River. Thing is, I turned the canoe over on purpose because the guy in front was running his mouth. I showed him, didn't I?

    I wasa working on a pier one time and dropped a hand held drill motor in the water.
    I had an old speaker at home so I took the big magnet off the back and tied a string on it and when I went to work the next day I dropped the magnet into the water right where I dropped the drill. Drug it back and forth and then pulled it up with a drill motor stuck to the magnet.[:)][8D]
    Dried it out and I still have/own a working Milwakee drill motor to this day

    A Ruger M77 that I got for 25$

    It was meant as a gun for experimenting.. worst piece of crap I ever bought..

    Hauled it overboard - didn't drop it or anything... chucked it straight over the side on purpose.

    Whatched some guy accidently drop a big gold chain in the water of the docks, about 100 feet from shore. Watched the guy for hours diveing and diveing. Never made it to the bottom.
    Figured he musta been from out of town, all the locals know the water right there is about 200 feet deep.[:D]

    Lots of rods and reels.....and probably a jillion lbs of lead in the form of downrigger weights in increments of 10 lbs each. [:)][:)] Many trolling flashers and dodgers and one brand new 20 HP Evinrude outboard motor in 500 ft of water. [:(][:(]

    oh - CGR reminded me - my sea ray almost ended up at the bottom of the Potomac River. I forgot to put back the drain plug and was cruising my myself towards my dock. Got about 1/2 way from shore and 1/2 way there and realized the boat was riding low and slow. Looked in the bilge and saw lots of water! I hit the sump (didn't have an automatic sump) and headed to shore and beached it. I had a spare plastic plug that did not fit right as I could not find the plug. Once beached it took about 15 minutes for the sump to drain it and I got back under way.

    Our's actually sunk. It was due to male stupidity and testorone. The boat was tied to the side of a house boat when a couple of the guys though they try to pull the front up as high as it would go. Sort of a "Whose the bigger strong guy on the house boat game".
    Well they pull and then decided to tie it off like that. It was up too high and the though hull exhaust was under water. Over night it sunk. The water wasn't that deep, but deep enough that the back of the boat touch the bottom the front stayed tied to the house boat.

    I've done that myself...but managed to get back to the ramp, run up and back my truck/trailer into the water, pull the boat back on the trailer and get it out to drain...good thing too b/c it was a buddy's boat!
