    Haven't been able to do much this year, but this is what I came up with.

    As soon as I'm thinking it's good to go in the river it rains and it gets too high. This is what I got magnet fishing. Got the stoneware from someone that went into the city for $10, and the Manhattan babies I think is my second mob bottle. The Christopher Columbus medallion I got magnet fishing...

    Went and checked out a new River.

    Looks promising, these were all on the surface. Still just a little chilly here in Chicago. Three of us went out, I found a hutch with the bottom busted out. Three others were found intact.

    Could be the last from the river this year, get a little cold but not ruling out, going out some more

    The river has been very kind to me this year. Although it's not easy, managed to have a banner year with milk, beers, hutches, blobs and a couple more items. Once I figured out what to do, which took probably 2 months out of the 4 months and many miles of both sides of the river. I found out...

    Maybe the cover for the bell, on a bike?

    Before I ruin it trying to clean it, or throw it out. I don't know anything about bikes but seems like it would be a good original piece to have if that's what it is. Any thoughts.

    A White Rose, Elephant,Bear, couple of Pig's and more.

    Sounds like the making of a Country song. Couldn't find much about the Columbus beer. The White Rose I only found out of Philadelphia.

    All found within 10 feet of each other,in a river.

    Quite the age difference, I'm going to go with maybe 1890 to 1950. I kept the squirt bottle just cuz I never had one. And I think somebody called it a ghost, something. It says, switch to squirt never an afterthirst. I like the milk, but too bad someone used it to practice with their BB gun. All...

    A couple beers and hutchs,oh there's more.

    I'll try to keep it short. Where I'm at on the river is a bridge a long one that everyone walking by can see me. I look up and there's a lady yelling at me I can't hear what she's saying, I thought it was my wife. I'm about a half a block away I start walking up and I said what's up, are you...

    Some beer, water, milk, or soda to help wash down the meat juice.

    I don't think anything would help washing down meat juice. I'm not real big on insulators but as my name implies, it says postal on it. And that's all it says.

    Thought I'd try a new place, BAM.

    I'm in a river all summer same place, found some nice bottles, but after the slick hutch yesterday. Thought I'll try a new spot. After two feet of mud and branches hit the bottom, had to leave, just had a small back pack,but there's more.

    This is just wrong.

    A slick Hutch. Make it worse , it was the only thing in 3 hours.

    Hutchs from this summer.

    Any Hutch is a good one even if it's a common one. I could use some help with the H. Schramm Fullersberg, IL. The one with out the Anvil and FH on the bottom seems to be fairly rare.

    I believe it's an old canteen.

    I find it interesting, but don't think it's worth keeping. What do you think?
  13. M

    Surprised, thought it was another rock.

    Rivers still high, so I was just kicking around with my feet thought it was another rock. It's a slick but still nice.
  14. M

    It's stoneware, slick, crude, old but I like it.

    First intact one found in the river. Couple beers and a couple milks what more do you want.

    Cleanest Hutch I ever found, plus beer, milk and a surprise med bottle.

    Been in the river all summer, and starting to figure it out a little. The Hutch, Milk and Med, were buried. Rinsed them out with some rock salt and that was it . The Atlas a quick dip in muric acid and that black stain goes bye bye.

    Questions about old beer cans.

    I remember seeing that just because an old can is rusted, doesn't mean it's no good. I leave some out there because you can't really read them. Going out today I'll keep some and post pictures of them, not all that interested in them, but somebody might be.

    Something new in the river, not

    The milk is a nice one, haven't been able to find anything on it yet, but and older timer than me said he saw a court one once. And then number eight for the Pabst collection.

    So many Art Deco style soda bottles.

    I've noticed people having interest in art deco soda bottles. I find so many of them, I'm not collecting them I give a quick clean, look them up. If anyone is interested in them, send me a message I'll hang on to them for a little while otherwise I'll return them to the wild. These are just four...

    Traded a sign for a bottle.

    It was just a small paper sign for, Cicero bottling works and said he would trade me a bottle for it. Well I saw the bottle and said he could just have the sign, said no I've got two of them, all righty thanks.
