Cool Find But A Little Eerie

Found your on lake Eerie. Neat & you did the right thing.

These also are used to contain small portions of human cremated remains (here in California we need to file a separate permit for each one, but other states do not have the same requirement), and is becoming more and more a popular thing for people to do here in California where cremation is on the rise.

I wouldnt want to keep it

Maybe I will put a local an ad on C-list in lost and found.
I have done that in the past with things I found out MD'ing.
Gee, I hope it was not human ashes in it. I'm kind of leaning (knowing
the history of the park/lake and it's visitors etc.) that it may of actually been one of the little creatures that are in the water or area that someone may have caught at one time and then it croaked. Maybe a frog or turtle or duckling/goosling etc. Either way He/She is back in the water. With my luck I will eventually turn up a body or gun that was used in a major murder case. Swell. This is the same place I found that old dog tag. Tracked down the owner and returned it to her. It was 15 yrs. earlier that she had lost the tag. Her dog had been dead almost ten years hence I found it. Had got her phone # from the tag and called her. I made the poor woman cry. Oh crap. She did later thank me for returning it though. I felt better then.
Small list of what I have found there over the years:

Urn, dog tags, 10 lb. lead divers belt weight, key's, old padlocks,
10K gold ring, 14K gold/diamond ring, various pcs. of silver jewlery,
at least $400.00 worth of clad coinage, a 2006 ASE reverse proof still
in the airtite, older Franklin half, a few geo caches etc.
What's next ? Will see
