Key west bottles

[Blak bart]

Went fishing down in keywest and had to dive up a couple bags of bottles. Where we dock is one of the older parts of key west. There is a mountain of coke bottles right under the boat so I get a couple bags every time we're there. I only spent 15 mins. in the water right before we left, and had to have help lifting these bags out of the water. got a nice old jar in with those cokes. it cleaned up nice and had a real sloppy hand applied lip (big drip on the inside).
Also got a hand applied crown top beer, and a couple internal thread tops. but by far my favorite fragment of all time was this 1700s or even 1600s spanish olive jar top. this is the biggest piece ive ever found for sure. The cokes of coarse had many different city names. also saw fort myers, fort Lauderdale, miami, coral gables, homestead, to name a few. Also got a nice bronze port hole. and a gas lantern part, large and made of brass.

Thanks jgas. Going back for the whole month of January. Water will be cold but ill have the time to hit it hard with the hookha rig. Should be fun. I know theres good stuff just gotta keep clearing the cokes and modern bottles out of the way. The guys are pumping me up with stories, and finds that are beautiful, and all from the same area.
