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.jpg IMG-3743.jpg IMG-3744.jpg IMG-3746.jpg IMG-1790.jpg BLACK-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.

Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.

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 !

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"

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
