That's awesome! I want to dig sooo badly but I don't know where to start. How do you find bottles in the water?

 

[RCO]

I just sort of check areas that have had a lot of human activity over the years like docks / wharfs / parks those kinds of places . sometimes the bottles will be easy to see underwater and other times you have to look harder or poke around some areas with a stick to find things . if your good at swimming its not hard to find bottles underwater if there is clean places to swim and look for them

are you snorkeling or just feeling around?

if in a river look for areas where things can be trapped, sharp turns in the river, sandbars under bridges ect. The thing with rivers is you can check one area a find a few. go back after a storm and find more and more. if you are in a canoe or kayak really check the river banks for signs of debris or junk sticking out a lot of dumping use to take place along river banks.

so true. its neat how something would pop up in a place where you've already looked a thousand times...

Very cool finds! I wish I would come across a treasure trove of Coca Cola bottles when I scuba dive Maybe I need to find new areas to dive because I haven't found any lost treasure chests either
