Low tide happened to be right today, so I went to my favorite tidal river. It was a perfect low tide with nice clear water. I got a satisfying bucket full of bottles and whatnot.

Those are great finds from the river...Taylor,I think that would be a really fun way to find bottles...Never have had any tidal action in these parts...Looks like a great spot to find the glass. Nice JSP too.

Nice stuff RIB. Are you mucking with your feet? Just looking for them? Or feeling around with your hands? If these are items that you can see, you might want to try rooting around in the bottom with some heavy garden gloves (or stepping around with your feet) to find buried items....
