it wasn't even metal
went to a small salt water beach that goes back to the 1800s but sees very little use now a days
Have gotten many antique gold rings from here dating in the late 1800s and early 1900s
as well as old coins
Why was I the only one in the water - cause temps up here hit 50 - I suited up and headed out for the
low negative tide - I walk 50 yrds to the water then 50 yrds to chest deep and put my mask on and turn my machine on
I put my face in to see what the visability is and what the bottom looks like - I look straight down and see a
brown unnatural looking item on the bottom - I try to focus and it looks like an artillery shell
the item only has about of third of itself showing - I see a flat bottom - straight sides and a round top
I quickly run machine over it and get no reading - it's not metal - it is brown and covered with other growth
I think it might be something made of wood - I nudge it with my foot and expose a neck
OH Yeah! I think I got a bottle... but is it intact? I carefully lined my scoop behind it and lift it up - it barely
fit in my scoop - I grab it by the neck and pull it out - it's complete! Covered with all kind of dead sea creatures
I can see that it took a cork. Im happy - but Im 100 yards away from my vehicle - what do I do - I start in a little
but hard to carry it - my scoop and my machine...its full of small pebbles, shells and black sand and it aint coming out.I start doing the "pee pee dance" ,,,Which is like Lou Costello when he dances in place cause he does not know what to do.
So I ended up putting it in my finds pouch - it just fit and was real careful not to bump it - as you can see it survived
Im away from home but got most of the sediment out - will clean it better when I get home in a few days.
Bottle is embossed and says BUFFALO LITHIA WATER on it - my Gf looked it up and found it already
It was a health water said to cure just about everything - cool find in my book
One of the reasons I always wear a mask when I hunt water - bonus finds
Ive found over 20 old bottles over the yrs - find newer ones too and remove those too so they don't get broken
Its a keeper. It haad lot more crud on it when found - lot knocked off in pouch - pic is from back of car
2nd pic is after a little cleaning - lip is intact - that is just caked crud on right side
