Great stories and amazing bottles.
Any markings on the reel?

Thanks Jim Bottleguy.
And to you Creekwalker. Wish I would find more of these but this spot really increased my collection of clays;
And thanks to you to too Mikez. The reel says Kazoo Shakespeare. I don't think its a great reel but it is different than most casting reels.

Well the value is the coolness with it was acquired. I bet it will make a nice display.
I bet there's a good, or not so good maybe, story about about how it got there. I can never help thinking about the last guy to use an artifact, whether it's a bottle, fishing gear or arrowhead.

Great story and a great job of story telling. Make you feel like you were along for the adventure. Great bottles too. Just love those stoneware bottles.

Thanks Sandchip and Shotdown.
And Mikez. I wonder about the previous users sometimes too. Those clays for example are 1880s. The world was way different for whoever drank those. Wonder why they didn't return the clays but I'm glad they discarded them.

Good job all the way around Bob. Pictures of cool bottles are nice and all but I enjoy the story of the hunt just as much if not more. Good for you ! You work hard for your finds. Due to circumstances out of my control it's been two years in row I have missed the Milwaukee bottle show now. GRRRR Have you guys ever done any diving on the old bridge about a mile east of town here ?

Hey Brian Geeman.
Thanks for your nice comments. Sorry you missed the shows. And I think we have tried it without a lot of success years ago.
