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
