	Weirdest Find from the depths « on: August 26, 2006, 05:42:56 am »

Well I went out diving this morning with my Metal detector and have to say I found something I never expected to find in 23 feet of water under the sand...Give Up...LOL...A Hedge Trimmer...LMAO...the ones that look like Giant Sissors...it is in pretty good shape too. I also found some fishing lures a bullet still in the case 38 spl, and a few pistol slugs, some clad coins and some old metal pieces I have not identified yet. It was a very nice dive air was 70 water 73 on surface 68 on bottom and vis was 15 to 20 feet until I started fanning the sand and silt to uncover my finds. I also located a few places to prospect with my sucker tube for the next time I go there.

I was diving at 120 feet along the drop off (11,000 feet deep) in the Bahamas, catching Black cap Basletts, when I saw a strange, ominus transparent like creature about 10 feet in diameter, slowly undulating in the clear blue water 30 feet below me.

Curiosity got the best of me, and not knowing what was going to happen between me and this giant creature at this depth, or if it would be the last thing I would ever see, I cautiously descended to within 8 feet of the critter, and with a big bubble exhalation sigh of relief, I realized it was merely a piece of clear plastic sheet that was suspended at that depth.

Definitely a bio hazarad for the 20-30 foot Truck Sharks, (Hammerhead) that I had seen cruising this area of deep water along the drop off, I brought the plastic sheet to my anchor line, hauled it up, and brought my captured creature of the deep to the shore and disposed of it. Dell
