I had a little time (finally) today to do a quick dive. I only had one tank, so I was only down for about 90 minutes, but it was enough time to find a few things. Naturally, there were some wonderful broken pieces, but a few decent things. I found some wonderful broken Stoddard glass and some cracked early flow blue pottery. The plate with the blue edge is perfect.

I was in a river behind a 1760s federal home, located within 5 miles of the Temple Glass Factory. I believe that the early light olive green vial bottle that I found MAY be a Temple piece. As with any glass from that era, it is always difficult to determine origin.

The "Nutts" from Newmarket NH is neat, as well as the medicine from Scranton, PA.

Great dive! The pitcher and plate are nice finds and the pontiled stuff may mean there are some more keepers around. How is visibility? I took some snorkeling gear in a nearby river last month, but could see nothing and current was strong with all the rain lately.
