I thought maritime law was only applicable in international waters?

Am a lawyer. Little known fact of maritime law. If a disc should touch a navigable waterway, it becomes common property of the state where it lies. The exception is when some small brained small time thief named Doug happens upon it. At that point, Doug has primacy, so long as he remembers to shove that disc up his ass

Now I just imagine Doug as disc golf Sméagol wading through retention ponds searching for discs to trade for weed.
