    A bottle surprise from Maine

    Spent the last week and a half diving for bottles in Downeast Maine. No real awesome finds really. A very clean Warners, Kidney and Liver Cure was nice as were a few other things. However here is the odd one for the trip. I'm a sucker for any black glass and besides old coffin flasks they are...

    Memorial Underwater Finds

    Spent the weekend diving in Maine. It was a bit chilly at 42f but the winter was good to me and the bottom seems scoured with more bottles and treasures exposed. I found a number of fairly common bottles the nicest being a Hampden Dairy 1/2 pint. The non-bottle finds were better. Found an H.A...

    shipwreck bottle finds

    I just realized you are with AUE. Nice video. So many lionfish, it's unbelievable. The sea floor is littered with bottles, that is so cool. I bought an AUE t-shirt many, many years ago. Alan

    shipwreck bottle finds

    Welcome and great finds. I dive for bottles off the old steamship wharves in Maine. Disovering an old steamship wreck is fantastic. What is the condition of the wreck? How deep is it? Tell us more! Alan PS - I should be in the water this weekend looking for more artifacts.
