World famed blood mixture

[Blak bart]

Got in the water today for a snorkel and freedove some bottles. My favorite was the Clarke's world famed blood mixture. It was an english patent medicine. Total quackery !! Claimed to do alot, but actually didnt do much of anything. Plenty of info online. Got a large internal thread bottle, moorhoouse bro. Also from england. Got some cokes (not pictured) and what I think is some kind of french canning jar. Or maybe its some kind of food jar or preserves ? It was a beautiful day in the water !! Warming up now so its time to dive bottles. This was the first time ive taken my boss bottle diving !! He loved it and I got paid to do it.

Those are really cool! And in great shape. Used to love snorkeling in the Carib. Never looked for bottles, though. Nice finds! Sounds like you have a decent boss.

Great find. I love those quack medicines.

Nice finds! I love the med. And I think the jar is called a berry jar.

Thanks guys !! It sure was beautiful out there, water is warming. After irma the water was murky for weeks, then it got colder and the days were shorter, and I just didnt get in the water to much. Now it is time to get in. Irma has moved the bottles all over and its amazing to see so many. Even the boss who had never done this was impressed with how many bottles had been uncovered. Wadeing and snorkeling work well !!

4 years from now I will hopefully be living down there and digging the giant privy of the Gulf of Mexico as a retiree! Nice finds. Instead of slinging dirt I will be slinging sand! Good luck and be safe out there. Jgas.
