Message in a bottle found

[Borracho]

So this morning I went down to a local surfing beach to do some metal detecting. My cousin came down to join me so I was walking along to shoreline to meet up with him when I almost stepped over this bottle. We could see two dollar bills and two notes. It's in another language but we could see the date said just yesterday. So they probably just threw it off the rock jetty and it washed back in haha. But it still felt really cool to come across it!





















I don't know which language it is and the notes are written in cursive which makes it even harder to figure out. Does anyone recognize this language? It's a touristy beach so I bet it was made by out-of-towners. Not sure what the 2 dollars are for. I don't think there's a return address in the note. What do you guys think I should do? Try sending it back out, or just keep it out of the ocean. I'd really hate for it to break and leave broken glass where lots of people go in the water.

Get it deciphered. Write a note that says anyone who finds this, add two bucks, add your name, location, and the date you found it, then toss it back in.

Looks like Russian or another Cyrillic lettered language.

Cool find!

I can't help you decipher it but I could add some background music to your thread.



Cheers,
Dave.

Delightful, totally delightful! Beautiful ornate script, a couple of lucky bucks, & mystery! I'd keep it in a sunny window at home, along with a few sea shells.

Since your moniker is "Borracho" maybe you'd rather it had been a full bottle of really nice wine! Have fun! Andi

I believe it's Russian.

There are a number of Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet.

hmm, well if the translation of the message reveals that the lucky $2 & message should go back into the sea, transfer it to a plastic bottle before throwing back! Plastic is not good for fish but causes less damage to humans than broken glass. Our beautiful beaches here are underlain by horrible shards of broken glass from bottles tossed both by lazy boaters & by land boozers pitching their empty bottles, which I guess makes those guys seem powerful & fabulous to themselves but is a huge danger to little kids frolicking on the sand & in the sea. When walking beach for fun or detecting, I always collect all broken glass & put in trash cans. Adios for now! Andi

It might be a commentary on what is going on in the Ukriane. Perhaps liking they they are here in the US rather than in their home country.
When you look at the back of the note on the left, the symbol just below the smiley face is the same that is on the National Ukraine flag and coinage.

That is cool, my fiance and I put out a message in a bottle and wrote about our love, maybe they are love notes? We also put our phone number on there if found. Sent it out in Lake Michigan about a year and a half ago, never heard from it again.

Hopefully someone can read it, would be fun to get a translation!

It was finding a message in a bottle that got me into all this in the first place. I found it on Lake Windermere in Cumbria. It was only dated 3 weeks before so I read the note, added my own little bit to it then set it free again. The note mentioned geocaching which meant nothing to me at the time.
