A Florida man has been reunited with his prosthetic leg thanks to a teenager who found it. Carter Hess was surfing near Panama City Beach when his leg came off after a wave crashed into him. He searched for it, but the water was murky and he couldn’ find it.
A week later, 13-year-old Sebastian Morris was diving and treasure hunting with his dad and found the leg. They started an online campaign to find the owner of the titanium limb and located Hess. The surfer was grateful for the return of his $3-thousand leg that he’s used to surf all over the world and thanked Sebastian by taking him and his mom to dinner.
“This is an amazing, great young man,” Hess says of Sebastian. “A lot of guys, especially treasure hunters, would have just put it in a trophy case — but he realized it could be important and someone could need it.”
