Flotsam
When a player drops an item in the water (or drowns and decays, spitting his items out) it is added to a hidden water trash storage. Players can occasionally find this trash either through Fishing it up by accident when trying to catch fish, or by finding Flotsams on the beach. These Flotsams are washed up piles of the water trash which can be picked to take a random amount of random things out of the trash storage.
Items gained are not randomly generated upon picking, they are gained when the Flotsam is spawned.
If you are carrying too much and can't hold what the Flotsam has, your character won't pick the Flotsam. Free up some space if this happens, and then try again.
Absolutely anything dropped can be obtained by anyone, so it is not unheard of for people to find rare gear and high quality equipment and seeds that were dumped in the water by raiders and marauders looking to dispose of evidence (or just to add insult to injury to the person they mugged by making sure they can almost never retrieve their stolen goods, unless they get lucky with trash spawns.)
