Look at this stunner I found today! I am stoked to say the least about this bottle. How did the person get the date carved into it with out breaking it?? IMG-3745.jpgIMG-3743.jpgIMG-3744.jpgIMG-3746.jpgIMG-1790.jpgBLACK-GLASS-1750.jpg

Awesome find!! I've seen people here in Florida diving in creeks and rivers looking for fossils. Seems like a lot of fun but I'd be too worried about Gators down here.
 

Looks English...maybe Port in it? The English drank tons of the stuff back then...still do...

We got the Gators too....Thanks!
 

Came home again and see another great item made its way to banner by the members. Well done. I am waiting on the relic and treasure gods to throw me a bone! haha. Nice job sir.

It has been going my way for sure! I am still wound up ..
 

Congrats on one awesome find buddy.. And a banner find, congrats on that as well..

Thanks Moe we need to hook up and go detecting soon.
 

Congrats and props to you CD, big effort resulted in a fantastic find. It is great to see a non metal object make Banner. Well deserved.
 

Black glass is pretty durable. Often would have iron slag in it which made it fairly hard to break. If I find black sea glass it's usually larger pieces. Great find!
 

That is one cool find...to go down 20 feet in the water, you deserve every find you get. If it wasnt for such dedication, the bottle would be there for eternity no doubt. Congrats !
 

Booyahh!

What a fantastic find.


All the best,

Lanny
 

Thanks everyone for all the great remarks. Headed back out to the area in the morning. As you guys know the search never ends for the next great one.. Man I love this hobby!!!
 

Well did not find much on that trip but headed back Tuesday... Might never find another to top this one but I am never gonna quit trying!
 

Thats freakin sick that would be My new drinking flask lol. Glad to see you found that you work hard for your great finds.
 

Thank you for sharing this. And congratulations on a great find and on making the banner! It is well deserved. But about that banner picture... Between its miniscule size and your wet (dry?) suit, every time I look at it i think, "I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight"
 

Thanks! It is a dry suit..
 

What more can I say you’re incredible in my book. You must be in a lake at 20ft did you have to do research on seeing what possibly would be there or are you just eyeballing anything? I’m gonna get in the water this summer I’m just hoping it doesn’t want me to take any more plugs LOL
