I've had to retrieve 4 discs from water this week(DX Beast 2x, Ascent, and C-FD) - I have a slow to heal gash on my right(non-throwing) wrist, and a bruised left foot arch for my pains - I did get them back tho....

About 2 weeks ago playing at Como, NY i lost my Secret weapon over a stream that connected with another stream that turned into a bigger river. Anyways I did NOT want to leave without my Secret Weapon so I have to run along a path to the other side and at this time I had little idea where my disc went in because it went accross about 175 ft of water before it went plummeting in. So with determination on my side and only a slight idea of which bank it might be near I proceed to test the water. The drop off was about 3 feet straight down to water so I had no way in seeing how deep it actually was, and one step later I was on my toes up to my neck in murkey water. So here I am, having to take baby steps with my toes barely touching the bottom... just walking from side to side. and after about 1 minute I step on a disc! hoist it up, and its a beat to hell DX Valk. no name, no number. i proceed to search for my driver and after another minute I find another disc! a DX wraith this time no name, no number. At this time im mapping out a perimiter of where I can walk neck deep and where it drops to deeper water where I cant go, hoping my disc didnt fall into the deeper parts. So im still looking and I feel out another disc! this time its a champ groove! no name no number! and not a minute later I find a star boss! no name no number! so this all took place in about 6 minutes. and im starting to get cold because it was a windy day out and the water wasnt that warm and even if i give up I still made out with 4 discs, 2 of which look brand new. So I give it one more path before I call it quits because remember, I have to take baby steps to go anywhere so I can feel out the bottom. As I approach a place to climb out I step on another disc. By now im thinking "holy **** 5 discs in 10 mins in this one spot?!" and I reach it up with my feet and vuallah! its my purple secret weapon!

Five weeks ago after a heavy rain I threw an 9/10 Lime Green ESP Surge in the Creek on hole 8 at Castle Hayne. First one I threw in in months. The creek was raging from the rain and I could not find it. Go back the next day still can't find it. Looked for that disc three times in total the last time jumping in the creek and walking the area repeatedly. Never found it. I got annoyed and figured somebody found it and kept it despite my number being on it. (people jump in that creek all the time disc hawking). A couple days ago a guy calls me about and brings it by the restaurant I am a chef at. He found it right where I walked in the creek. Unbelievable.
Funny thing is I said it was nearly new because now it looks really old. The stamp is almost completely gone washed away by the water I guess. Still flies like it is almost new, but man does it look beat now haha.
Lost my two week old Boss on Chapel Hill's 14th hole on the right side. Darn thing took off like its prone to do, started high and ended high on a pine tree along the tree line a little more than halfway between the tee and basket. I saw it falling and assumed it'd be there when I walked up, but the weeds, ivy, and everything else just swallowed it up. We looked for a good 20 minutes but no luck. The disc was dark blue with a shimmery purple design, and looked like new, which, it was. Of course, the worst part is, I'd already teed off with another disc- I only threw the Boss for practice. It's so stable, especially late, I never expected it to hang up on the right.
