Very interesting video from Canada, but linked to MSN news feed. Enjoy, have a great Thanksgiving weekend and be safe, not sorry. It's wet here, so enjoying family time and football! http://www.msn.com/en-us/video/peopleandplaces/century-old-beer-bottle-found-by-ns-diver/vi-AAfGHiu?ocid=iehp

I don't get why it made news. Many Canadian diggers will dig up still full bottles that are even older than Canada and look better than that one. No offense to him.

I had the same thoughts on this. Possibly because Alexander Keith was mayor of Halifax, brings the beer this recognition. Our forums own divers, have had spectacular finds, that's also newsworthy!

I think it's because Alexander Keith's is a very popular brand of beer in Canada, so finding a full bottle of it is deemed interesting. Either that or someone contacted a reporter when this guy found a bottle, but no one contacted a reporter for all the other full bottles that have been found.

I think they should drink it.

Canada is only about 100 years old. I did not know that.[]

i have no idea why the CBC news here decided this was newsworthy , I'm not even sure the bottle he found was that old it looked to have machine made markings on the bottom , meaning there is no way the bottle is older than Canada which was founded in 1867 , more likely bottle is 1910-20's era or even newer . I'm sure people find all kinds of interesting items on the east coast of Canada
