Sounds crazy but this is when I really begin to look, Woke up it was 11degrees out. Driving to one of my favorite spots could see lots of sea smoke in the early morning sun. Sea smoke is when the ocean waters are warmer than the air, the colder it is the more smoke there is. There was only one lobsterman going out so no worries from the surface. The water temp according to my dive computer was 39degrees. Found a Rubifoam for the Teeth, part of an early chamber pot, some oysters, lots of old fishing weights, a whiskey named Antedeluvian and a creepy ceramic top. The top looks like a woman climbing out of something. My wife wants it out of the house says its evil. I also found a local soda,small bean pot, and a cool Westerwald ceramic shard.

Here is the rest. I probably wont be able to get wet until New Years Day as its a tradition for me to start the year diving, for about 20 plus years now barring any Nor Easter storms that generally destroy viz. Hope you enjoy. A merry Christmas to you all out there. Kevin

I think the girl looks more like she's doing a curtsy while holding her dress.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe it looked strange since we don't see a whole lot of girls curtsying anymore.

I was thinking the ceramic thing was a ballerina missing her legs, didn't get any sense of creepiness from it. Nice finds!

Hey guys thanks for the comments. Ahhh curtsy, that makes sense. RCO the ACL soda bottles are usually not that great condition when found in salt water. Does anyone know how old the fishing weights are?

Hope to dive again this weekend, maybe some open freshwater before its all frozen.
