Things you've lost or broke

Whats the most expensive item you broke or lost this season while fishing?
So far i've lost an iPhone with no insurance available, broke 1 surefire flashlight and lost another one on a different set of rocks.
I've heard stories of some VS pliers being found on a beach so it got me thinking about what others have lost while fishing.

Not expensive, but I lost a brown wading boot somewhere in SoCo, anyone find it.

Opened tailgate to grab cooler at 5am .Ran in grabbed some bait.Put cooler in cab of truck.Complete freshwater tackle box 3 trays full flew off tailgate somewhere between warwick and NK.Good thing I dont really have the freshwater itch like I have the saltwater one.I shrugged it off.Besides that I've lost some tire tread and gas money.All well worth it.
