RE: More river bottom finds... - 1/23/2010 4:11:24 PM    mtfarmer   Posts: 30 Joined: 10/3/2009 Status: offline Wow!  Nice stuff.  Last week a friend and I dove off of a "lost' bridge here in Montana to look for bottles.  There were dozens and dozens of bottles laying around, but before we could check any out we continued on out to deeper water and stumbled across a half-dozen old old slot machines that must have been dumped over by the cops during prohibition.  No marker bouy, no reel, no lift-bag, no nothing but a compass heading and plans to go back as soon as this storm breaks.  I keep thinking of all those bottles....................I'm losing sleep!

RE: More river bottom finds... - 1/23/2010 7:05:57 PM    riverdiver   Posts: 629 Joined: 6/27/2009 From: The Lake Sunapee region of NH Status: offline Hi mtfarmer, welcome to the forum. I have been diving rivers in New England for bottles and stuff for 22 years and I always take this set-up down with me. It has been modified over the years but this is the basic set up. 2-milk crates rigged with a 50lb subsalve lift bag, a stainless steel 4" blank pipe flange tie wrapped to the outside bottom of the middle crate for a counter weight, 2-1"w x 4'l nylon dog leashes for rigging. One crate is cut in half and tie wrapped to the outside of the other and has a mounted dive knife on one end and a home made 'sharps' container on the other end for small stuff like marbles, coins and pipes. The complete crate has aluminum mesh on the bottom for containment of smaller bottles and shards. I have a mesh pouch on the outside full of old socks that I sleeve each bottle with as I find them so they dont bang against each other. This system stops you from using a goody bag and becoming a human anchor. When it is full of goodies put in enough air to achieve neutral bouyancy and head home with the mother load. I have another crate set up with an u/w metal detector, camera, compass and lights mounted to it for easy removal and multifunctional dives.
