❤️ Those Round Bottoms!
Indeed, those Belfast RB's have nice raised lettering & heavy, thick glass. Most of the ones I've found are un-embossed, but I have 3 now that are embossed: Ross's / Belfast, Cochrane / Belfast & a Campbells - Medical Hall / Montreal. The Ross bottle is incredibly minty, shiny & scratch-less -...- DeepSeaDan

The MilkMan cometh...
I bought a fishing kayak to dive from a few years back, but found it to be too much of a pain to use. I think it would work well for surface harvesting though.- DeepSeaDan

The MilkMan cometh...
Four hours on my u/w scooter produced more milk bottles, a very clean, scratch-free flask and a little Horlick's malted milk jar. The flask & two milks came out of the sand, the rest were mid-river, a few displaying some 'river-rash' from years of tumbling about the rocky river bottom.- DeepSeaDan

Milks & A Honey Blue
Left the underwater scooter at home to try out my new prescription mask; the entire lens is designed for close-up viewing - what a change! I can see like the 14 year-old I was when I first started diving & hunting for treasure. Probably would have missed the milks, as they lay amongst rocks and...- DeepSeaDan

Best way to find bottles that were dumped in a deep, muddy river?
Depends on the bottom material's consistency, the depth of the material ( over the hard, natural bottom below the sediment ) & the average rate of flow at the river bottom. If the bottom sediment is deep and the water flow isn't sufficient to substantially move the sediments downstream, then...- DeepSeaDan

Best way to find bottles that were dumped in a deep, muddy river?
As an inveterate river-diver, I think I can help. The swift current may indeed have pushed bottles "way downstream", but that would depend on a number of factors, such as bottom material consistency, bottom elevation changes, obstructions ( natural and man-made ). These factors would contribute...- DeepSeaDan

1st Dive of the Season Find
Not a bottle, but my 2nd favourite item to find - Crockery! No name, no stencilling, but of a shape I have yet to find. Unsure of it's d.o.m., or who may have created it, but it will find a place on my shelf as a pleasure to look at and a fond memory of it's discovery.- DeepSeaDan

1830 shipwreck with bottles!
So, this thread got me recalling my very first contract as a Deepsea Diver - a 4-month stint in the Bay of Campeche', Mexico. The barge I worked on was known as a 'utility barge', in that it could do a number of tasks, however, its' principal task was to bury 36" pipeline into the seafloor. To...- DeepSeaDan
