Metal Detectorist Retrieves Over 200 Apple Watches from Illinois Lakes, But Returning Them to Owners Proves Challenging
- Professional metal detectorist Darick Langos has recovered over 200 Apple Watches from lakes in northeast Illinois
- Apple Watches are among the most common items he finds, likely due to sport bands not staying on well in water
- Many of the Apple Watches he finds still hold a charge when recovered
- It's difficult to return the Apple Watches to owners since they're usually locked
- Cell phone companies have shown little interest in helping get the devices back to the original owners
