Treasure hunting

There is one beach in Florida known for finding. Spainish artifacts from gallons that were sunk in a hurricane. I imagine the divers hit it pretty hard as well. What's the most valuable thing that you've ever found while diving?

I've found watches and a ton of sunglasses and that's about it. My buddy found a $30 Gerber pocket knife.

Glasses and lots of boat anchors. My friend was diving this summer at a lake and found a brand new $20 bill resting on a rock below some docks!!

I found a cell phone this year but surprisingly it did not work. I also found a couple of good rod and reels this year.
