Skunked one day, too many the next. - 5/28/2007 3:16:45 PM    adshepard   Posts: 215 Joined: 8/11/2004 Status: offline Went bottle diving in Eastport, Maine over the weekend.  I got pretty much skunked on Saturday only bringing up one decent keeper which appears to be some type of druggist bottle.  I did find half a Warner's and a few broken squats but everything else I dug out of the silt was circa last week and mostly Budweiser. On Sunday my luck changed and I didn't have enough carrying capacity to bring up everything which will teach me to bring a good size bag along next time.  I hit a spot just south of my previous best digs and about 75% of what I dug was worth bringing up.  Unfortunately my BC aka dive vest has limited bottle carrying capacity and I was stuffed to the gills with bottles and kept finding more.  I had to make decsions tossing some out to hopefully find on a future dive.  I got a nice Ingall's Bros, Portland, ME blob top soda with a large "I" on the reverse.  It's going to clean up and tumble very nicely.  Another nice one is a W. & L.F. Diehl Bottlers, 646 Robbins Avenue, NY, Registered, This Bottle Not To Be Sold which appears to be a beer bottle.  I have no info on it.  I  found a vintage baby's bottle with three cats on it.  I gave that one to my daughter.  I also found a really good size clay pipe and a few plain flasks.  There were a number of broken squats too.  I'm going to hit that spot again the next time I head downeast.
