Nice video. Did you pull those broken jugs out too or just leave them? Is this a lake or what that you were diving in?

What's wrong with the broken ones? I'd imagine some of them'd be pretty interesting historically though maybe worth a bit less b/c they are not whole, plus you'd be doing the environment a favor by getting them out of there. How deep is your average dive? Thx.

Nice turn of last century dump . When I used to dig these were a favorite . They usually contain a lot of variety near the end of the time when bottles were not machine made . Most finds do not carry great monetary value but are a lot if fun to dig. On occasion you’ll find older bottles discarded at the same time or that occasional cobalt blue skull poison . You just never know . Have fun.

Nothing... There were just to many whole ones to be wasting my time on broke ones.... I do pick up broke examples but NOT when there are whole examples all over the place... 40 FT or less...
