I dove for bottles once upon a time. Here's some of them. All taken on snorkel in MA/NH rivers/creeks:

Ah, a "SnorkelMan", eh? Were your finds mostly in the shallows, or did you go deeper? As much as I enjoy snorkelling in the tropical seas, I use scuba only up here in the great white north. Most of our rivers were used a logging routes back in the day, and a portion of it sank and gathered in huge, jumbled messes; couple that with darker waters, currents and the detritus accumulated by those liking to toss anything they want to into the drink and you have a lot of potential entrapments.
I find a lot of good stuff in the shallows, so a mask & snorkel can lead you to some great finds, such as yours. Thanks for sharing...
I have SCUBA gear but getting air around here is another story. So I've always free dove usually with a 5mm suit, belt and fins. I've pulled bottles upwards of 15 feet but I'm at the point where doing that all day, I'm nervous about shallow water blackout. Also I cant stay down long enough to pick through the bottles carefully and I'm sure I miss a lot especially small inks and such. So I'm getting a Grumman Sport boat and using tanks when I start back up again.
Time to buy a compressor...
