Alex Mask noticed that a lot of people lose things in Lake Martin – mostly sunglasses but also Apple watches, jewelry and even furniture. He came across such lost items on nearly every weekly dive he made at the lake over the last seven years, especially in the summer months and most especially below the Chimney Rock jump site.
When he retrieved a couple of Apple watches he found in June, he posted the finds on Facebook and urged his friends and followers to share the posts in an effort to find the owners. The posts worked, and Mask was just glad to be able to return the items to their rightful owners.
