As well as what the others said about burying things for safekeeping the British had a habit of dumping items in rivers and streams for unknown ‘ritual’ purposes thousands of years ago. Like coins and broken swords and random objects maybe worshipping some kind of god related to rivers.

Those items might end up elsewhere if the river moves or dries up over time or they just get washed up some place.
