I live in the chicagoland area and live close to the I & M canal, for those of you who do not know what that is it is a canal they built in the early 1800's. It is still there, allthough very shallow in areas and filled with garbage. Most of the canal runs through wooded areas and all along the river i have found many old structures. Amagine all of the old bottles that are along the canal!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want everybodies feedback, do you think im crazy or should there be many bottles along this historic canal? I believe the canal was retired when the construction of the sanitary(and much larger) ship canal was complete in the arly 1900's. Please, i would like some feedback and if anyone is willing to go along on this dig, please reply thanks..............................Jake.
