    Clean n’ Shiny, Right Outta the Drink!

    Had some fun dives in a water depth absent of light and a moderate current running. Nothing remarkable save for the excellent condition of the glass. I reckon these botts only recently emerged from the sand. Happy to add another poison to the collection!

    Tin Salvage, Straits of Taiwan, 1985 ( a deepsea yarn...)

    Well Lad, I’m sorry to hear that. I will dig up another story or two for your vicarious reading pleasure.

    Tin Salvage, Straits of Taiwan, 1985 ( a deepsea yarn...)

    Hey Wallaman! Listen, you too can dive! It's really very safe as long as you follow the simple rules that will keep you safe. Mel Fisher's family continues the hunt for Atocha treasure in the waters beyond Key West. I believe they still offer the interested scuba certified diver the opportunity...

    Small 3in hair dye

    Nice rolled lip & pontil - great find! I dived a Northrop & Lymans "Canadian Hair Dye" that is similar; regrettably, mine got decapitated somewhere along the line. Still a keeper though!

    Toronto Bottle Show

    Found some things at the Show today: top of the list for me was the black glass mallet, circa 1760, pulled from Kingston harbour by a local diver, about 50 years ago. Couldn’t pass up the beautiful colour of the strap-sided amber flask. Got a sweet bargain on the little pontiled Trask Magnetic...

    Please help me date this old bottle

    Looks like a nice old cologne bottle with an open pontil scar, thus I'd take a stab at dating it circa 1860.

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    Hot dang! That is freakin' amazing! This Missuss bought me one ( I'm a marine antiques junky ) and paid $300 for it. What do you plan to do with them?

    PSA- friendly reminder

    By all means, stop the bleeding, but clean the wound thoroughly first! Who knows what ungodly bacteriums exist in the soil you're digging, particularly privies! Keep an eye on the wound in the following days and watch for signs of infection. If you need motivation, google a case review of a...

    GRAVITATING STOPPER FROM THE 1860s. POSSIBLE FIND OF A LIFETIME?

    Congratulations on your find! Here are two of my gravs, fresh out of the tumbler. The grav-style of stopper was quite popular up here in Ontario, but almost non-existent in the rest of Canada. The one on the right is quite rare, with only one other example known. I suspect these were made some...

    Lindsay Soda Water Works ( Ontario )

    The crate is currently topped off with a variety of art-deco botts, I just replace one as I find/acquire another Lindsay pint - now I need an un-stenciled crate for all the a-d's!

    Hey Embe, I need a dozen more for a full crate - the hunt continues!

    A big Western New York hello and good morning!

    I've found a couple of bottles from the Lockport GW up here in Ontario - beautiful teal color! One I believe is 1870's, not too far past the pontil era, methinks. Always on the lookout for more!
