  • YouTuber Nuggetnoggin (Michael Bennett) was diving for treasures in the Edisto river in South Carolina when he came across something unusual: an iPhone.

    The smartphone was inside a protective water sleeve that was soiled in dirt and grim, suggesting it had been there for quite a while.

    But the surprise came later when he plugged in the phone and found that it worked.

    The YouTuber reached out to the owner of the phone

  • While the iPhone did turn on, Michael couldn't unlock it to find the owner's number. However, he was able to put the SIM into a different phone to find the saved contacts. And after making a few calls, he finally reached Erica Bennett, the owner.

    As per Erica, she lost the phone during a family trip on June 19, 2018. She believed that her phone was lost forever only to find herself stunned with Michael's call.

  • Memories

    Erica's emotional connect with her iPhone

  • Erica was thrilled to reunite with her old phone back as it contained messages and pictures of her late father.

    "Hey I'm playing phone tag with you, so I just figured I just text you, how are you feeling?' And I think he had called me after that. I'm pretty sure it was Father's Day," Erica told the press recalling her father's last words.
