A Great Day in the River!

Until recently, the only gravitating-style stopper soda bottle I had found was in the late Fall of 2016; this summer, I've managed to find two! The days' hunt was rounded out by a nice quart soda and a beer with a hand-finished top.

Nice, you make it look so damn easy...

Well, my underwater DPV ( Diver Propulsion Vehicle ) makes travelling down there easy! Oddly enough, this day I had scootered upriver for an hour or so, then the machine's motor got too hot and it shut itself off to cool down. So I turned the dive & started back, carrying the DPV as I continued searching. I wouldn't have spied the grav's top had I been under tow, so the breakdown was a blessing in disguise!

Wow, those are some great finds! I love the gravitating stopper but those two tooled crowns are pretty nice as well.

that Foy & Starr bottle has been there for a long time , book lists it as being from 1870's , never found any bottles in that style before

Always know I'm in for some great finds when I click on one of your threads, and this time did not disappoint! I love the frosted look of that Foy & Starr!

Thanks Sitcoms. I must confess it takes many, many hours of dogged searching to come up with a prized find, but that makes the experience that much more satisfying. If I filmed every minute of my un-productive search time underwater, the soundtrack could be used as a sleep-aid! Lucky for me is the fact I'm very content just to be underwater, with my buddies the fishes, exploring the marine-scape, forever anticipating yet another gift from the past.
