Feb. 11 (UPI) -- A prosthetic leg lost by a swimmer in England was found when it washed up 10 months later on a beach about 14.5 miles away.
Brenda Ogden, 69, said her custom-made titanium leg, which cost her more than $2,700, was carried out to sea when she was knocked over by a wave on a Bridlington beach in April.
"I really couldn't believe I lost it. One minute we were standing up smiling, the next minute it was disappearing off," Ogden told the BBC.
Ogden's swimming group tried to find the limb, but it was swept away by the tide.
The leg's fate was unknown until Elizabeth Forbes spotted it among the rocks while hunting for fossils on the shore of Atwick, about 14.5 miles from where it was lost by Ogden.
