    Cleaning gunk from the river

    Just as a note, lye is as dangerous as muriatic acid. Don't breath the fumes from either or get it on bare skin.

    Found ~150 blue & black hand-blown bottle stoppers

    Although the "stopper" section is uneven as seen, wouldn't they be "ground" to even them up and fit correctly? I would guess it was at the end of the time of them being used and could be ground to fit a particular bottle if needed. Just my guess.

    found a bottle in lake erie, 1880 still full

    I'm also wondering why it was sealed w/ wax. I don't recall other cork bottles sealed that way, just corked. Maybe it was refilled w/ something else then wax dipped? Just a thought.Jay

    Just a thought, but you might want to see who actually owns the property now. I know it's easy to beg forgiveness and I'm guessing it's not posted, but...

    Salt shaker find

    Seems they made incense burners too:http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-BRONZE-ART-DECO-INCENSE-BURNER-W-B-MFG-CO-WEIDLICH-BROS-607-/231386708954To me the holes are too far down the top for s/p. But maybe not?

    Salt shaker find

    Yea, I'm pretty sure it's an incense burner/holder. I believe there would of been an attachment point at the top for a chain.Jay

    Bottle Seal

    The first letter looks like a "t" but I believe it is a "j". I've found bases w/ deep kick ups and very crude and a few necks w/ applied string lips that were very crude that put me in this time frame but nothing whole.

    U S Navy Mustard and Pepper Bottles

    Archaeologists catch looter !! haha please

    You think this is bad. Try dealing w/ Marine Archeologists. They are probably even more underfunded than land arch's and have to wait for someone to find a wreck then claim it, (submerged cultural resources), they call them. Between them and UNEXO, beware. Jay
