The MSN homepage has an astonishing article on how a fisherman recently hauled in the remains of a wallet originally lost in 1966—almost 40 years ago!

BOSTON - Back in 1966, James Lubeck bent over to secure his sailboat against a gathering storm and his wallet slipped from his back pocket into Marblehead Harbor. The wallet and the credit cards inside were seemingly gone forever.

Then Lubeck got word recently about a mind-boggling discovery: A fisherman had hauled in the wallet’s sheath of credit cards in a netful of cod, flounder and haddock.

“I can’t find the adjectives,” Lubeck, 74, said in an interview Friday. “I don’t know how many people would have done that.”

Fisherman Antonino Randazzo hauled in the catch in June roughly 25 miles from where Lubeck lost the wallet. The sheath was caked in mud, but the 10 to 12 credit and identification cards were in pristine condition.

“It is incredible,” he said. “Life is full of mysteries.”

Randazzo, 44, said he initially feared the wallet belonged to someone who was lost at sea, but when he looked at the cards, he noticed that the expiration dates were from the late 1960s.
