I grew up fishing the brook down the street. 40 years ago I didn't collect bottles but always interested in history and old stuff, I noticed all the bottle shards in the gravel bed. Now I finally went back.
The combination of drought and upstream beavers had lowered the stream lower than ever. This section runs through the bed of a long drained mill pond. Everything appears to be turn of the century. Nothing after prohibition as judged by numerous beer bottles.
My first scout I just waded wet, knee deep, and picked up bottle after bottle. Here's highlights: the first one is a broke only because the instream shots came out best. The rest were whole.
