In the many years I've been hanging out at the lake I've never found anything that's fallen off our pier. I mean - never. I think it's because of the wave action we get where we are. I tell people not to take anything to the pier that they value. I also tell them not to wear any jewelry they value.

I was tubing over Labor Day and took a nasty spill that ripped the watch right off my arm (not to mention the bruised ribs and stiff neck!). A watch is the only jewelry I wear around the water. But I can wear a kids watch so I buy Timex Kids Sport watches for about $15. No great loss. I take off my earrings and necklace. When my daughter brings friends to the lake I make them take off all of their jewelry and leave it in the house. I tell them not to take their cell phones and Ipods on the pier but they don't listen. There's one of each somewhere off our pier from this summer.

I would think that someone with a metal detector could find quite a trove walking the banks this winter.
