    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...

    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

    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...

    STILL ALIVE

    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...

    Day off tomorrow

    I have not been able to say that for awhile. I began working 3rds last week thru a temp service. They called earlier and told me not to come in tonight, I guess that means I have today off, oh well ya get the point. I think I might go do some wading tomorrow early, then fishing in the afternoon...

    PICS OF RIVER DRAW DOWN

    The section of Auglaize that runs through Wapak Ohio has been drained recently. There is a low level dam about a 1/2 mile from downtown. They opened the gate dropping the river about 3 ft or so. I have found bottles upstream from this area and always wondered what could possibly be in this...

    K of C SIGN

    I found this sign in the Auglaize river the other day. It was maybe a mile or so down from the current Knights of Columbus hall. I am not ture if that is where it was put in the river though. The river makes a couple sharp 90s before reaching this area. I would have thought it would have became...

    WINTER DRAW DOWN

    I drove to Wapak to return a video yesterday. As I crossed the river I noticed the river was practically non-existent. I returned the movie then drove to a lot close to the river to check it out. The gate on the low level dam had been removed and the water drained. I am not sure if they plan on...

    BOOT REPAIR QUESTION

    I am looking for suggestions concerning repair of my wader boot. I bought a pair of bone dry waders and I wore them 2 springs and a fall. I would have thought for 120 bucks they would have held up longer. Hour wise I am guessing it was less than 70 hours use. So the left boot has a crack just in...

    COUPLE 1/2 PT MILK BOTTLES

    I found both of these in different areas of the Auglaize river. The one is fairly obvious, it reads Silver Seal Meadow Gold. The other I will have to take a guess at. It is embossed CMDA, Columbus Ohio, I am guessing Columbus Metropolitan Dairy Association. If anyone else has an idea feel free...

    FEW FROM THE AUGLAIZE

    I went out to the Auglaize earlier today. I went to a bridge that crosses the upper most area. Once i go upstream from this bridge it begins to narrow. The first 1/2 mile I didnt find much, shards, baby food jars, worn ACLs and such. The first bottle I found is the clear slick. It has a very...

    COMPLETE BALL JAR IN RIVER

    I found this ball mason while wading today. I was actually there to fish more than wade, but I look around still. I found this jar just upstream from the bridge I entered from. I have found Ball jars and lids, but never a jar w/ lid and some wire bail attached. The area where I found it was...

    SCIOTO RIVER FINDS

    I went over to Kenton to wade the Scioto again today. We have not had a measurable rain for 2 weeks now. The river is running very low, stained, but clear enough. I started out in town and waded upstream for about a mile. I found nothing of real interest except a 1/2 pint milk not embossed. I...
