bottle and related swim finds summer 2021

[RCO]

went back to the river location I explored last year and found more stuff , a lot broken so not a lot to clean up

couple modern beer bottles , modern shot glass , broken green quart bottle

more coca cola , broken one from ( 38 ) which is actually one of the oldest bottles I've found there , other one 50's and an acl version


2 broken 7 oz Browns Beverages bottles , broken pepsi swirl bottle from 60's , no deposit no return pepsi

kist 10 oz bottle , mountain dew hillbilly ( some acl left it was hidden in the sand ) , clearly Canadian bottle from 90's for cherry flavour

 

[RCO]

the clearly Canadian bottle is for the wild cherry flavour , cleaned some somewhat but missing red paint for cherry

the mountain dew is grey from being in the sand near the dock and has a weird look to it but can see the original acl design

checked another river spot i've been to over the years but didn't find much

some modern beer bottles , modern pipe , fishing lure

2 coca cola bottles ( 42 ) hobbleskirt and a 12 oz bottle

but did find a rare book at a nearby store , after I went swimming I went in and found it in used book section . if you've ever heard of Dorset Ontario its a small village on lake of bays . never seen this book before but it came out in the mid 70's , lots of neat info in it about old hotels , stores etc , checked online and none available anywhere

2 pepsi bottles - swirl from 60's and a no deposit , coca cola tall version

Swimming and bottles!? Okay, Where do I sign up?

I know right. Kinda confused but interesting. Rivers around here are either nasty brown or full of sewerage. Swimming without a dive suit may get ya another few finger's growing & waking up with a 3rd eye ball.

its a small river that runs between 2 lakes , a lot of water movement thru that area so the water isn't dirty or stagnant

the lakes around here are generally fairly clean
