Salt Water and SD

A guy found a camera on a beach that had been in the ocean for four years. He took out the SD card and:
 
"I simply split the card with an XActo knife and cleaned the circuit board with some isopropyl alcohol to make sure there was no salt bridging the pins. Once you've cleaned it, put it back in the carrier and put the two halves together. Then simply insert the card in the SD slot of the reader. That's all I did"
 
and spilling out came hundreds of pictures taken in 2007. He set up a Flickr site to try and find the original owner. One of the pics is shown up top.
