    CLAY BOTTLE FOUND IN ST MARYS RIVER

    I am going back over to the St Marys river today. River is kind of misleading, it is more a large creek. St Marys is home to the largest hand dug lake in the world, Grand Lake St Marys. It is a shallow lake and was dug as a feeder for the canals. I did find quite a bit of broken glass in the...

    CLAY BOTTLE FOUND IN ST MARYS RIVER

    It is exactly like the one Surfaceone has posted. I thought it might be older or more rare. Yes, I have reached the 1/2 century mark today. 1/2 century makes me feel historic, saying 50 just sounds old [:D]

    CLAY BOTTLE FOUND IN ST MARYS RIVER

    I went to the St Marys river to wade today. It is only about 14 miles away yet I have never waded it. I took my fishing pole along in case there happened to be good fishing there. I waded up about a mile or so, it was a slow soft bottomed creek interspersed with deep holes. I did catch one small...

    DR YY CALDWELL MONTICELLO

    I went the Auglaize to wade for a bit. I actually ended up wading about 3 miles. I found a City Brewing Wapakoneta and a cobalt blue cork bottle, capital M is embossed on the bottom. As I waded along I passed a steep hillside and noticed shards at the base. I decided to climb the hill and see...

    AUGLAIZE RIVER BLOB

    I also wanted to add that I have a great way to clean my bottles now. I hired into a metal fab shop in November. My job is to power wash the parts after they are welded up. I use a 1900 psi washer to do this. One of the jobs I do is clean the stainless after it is welded up. I have to use a gel...

    Did ya all forget I existed

    I havent been in here for quite a bit. I did not do much wading this yr, just went a few times. Had a lot of rain in the spring and fall which kept me out of the local creeks/rivers. It did dry up in the summer, but I had an erratic work schedule. The few times I did get out I really had very...

    AT LEAST IT HASNT BEEN 40 DAYS

    It has been raining a steady 3 to 4 days a week for a cpl months now. I think this is the wettest spring I can remember for some time. I have not been able to get into the rivers to fish or bottle scavenge. The forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 75, I am afraid I will burst into flames in direct...

    PART OF MY JOB

    Not clipped on, about a 3 ft railing surrounds the cat walk. Yes it does get breezy up there, sometimes more so than I like. That is water in the distance, just a refinery pond though. I did finish up the 90 ft one today, tomorrow I have a couple smaller ones, 60 to 70 ft maybe. This refinery...

    PART OF MY JOB

    I work at a local refinery with a subcontractor. I perform industrial cleaning services such as, high pressure water cleaning and super sucker vac trucks. One of the pressure wash jobs we perform involve reactor towers. Most of the reactor towers are warm year round. This being the case guess...

    COPPER LIGHTING FIXTURE

    Hello bottle people, thought I would throw this out there. I found this earlier this year, late spring or so. I found it in some muck that had been dredged from Grand Lake St. Marys in Ohio. Grand Lake was dug as a feeder for the Miami-Erie canal. It is the largest hand dug lake in the world. It...

    HELLO BOTTLE PEOPLE

    I am still around everyone just have not posted for a bit. I am still working, but hours are few this time of year. I am sure more than a few northerners drop off this time of year. There will be a short gun season on deer in Feb. after that I may hit the woods. It has been a long, slow winter...

    ANY IDEA WHAT THIS IS ??

    I was cleaning out the tool box on my truck bed yesterday. I cleaned out some trash, re-organized some tools, threw out bottles that never made it inside. I found this in there lying under some stuff, not sure what it is. It is one of those things I picked up while wading in the Auglaize river...

    BEAUTIFUL DAY IN OHIO

    I do foot feel sometimes, I have reached into the water to examine possible bottles, This area is so rock strewn that bottle survival is very low. Strange things do happen sometimes though.

    BEAUTIFUL DAY IN OHIO

    Today was one of those fall days one dreams about. A light southerly breeze tickled leaves turning gold, red, and yellow. Dry air and blue sky with temps in the mid 70s. I knew that more days such as this were going fade like the green fades from the leaves. I threw the recently patched waders...
