Not bad. All I found was a nursing unit's 'Vitaflow' bottle missing the base is the lake last I went. I literately said, "Darn," and threw my fists to the waves when I saw it was broken. My first baby bottle (found) and it's busted. I almost had a fit. Heh. So far, which is your favorite you've found in the waters?

some locations are like that , I had also went swimming at 2 other lakes this weekend cause it was so warm but found like nothing in either , only older bottle at other lake was a pepsi swirl from 60's . this new location has the volume ( I've likely removed 300 bottles and counting ) but so far nothing really incredible or at least not in good condition if it was rare bottle . I'm sure i'll find something more interesting if I keep looking , I'd be happy just to find the embossed bottles from 1920's as I'm sure some have to be down there somewhere

Snorkel and dive mask and mesh bag and dive knife-- a rake if bottles pile upon one another to move them around. Might have to stick with feeling depending on turbidity. Great luck!

i noticed on ebay my lake of bays/huntsville clear bottle has come up for sale , actually first time in last couple of years I have been collecting that I have seen one for sale , opening bid of $38 has already been placed , you can see in pictures what colour label was originally , mine have both faded away from being in water , yet to find one in good condition and dug a lot of dumps in this area and none seem to be found anywhere http://www.ebay.ca/itm/380940122103?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Those are quite pretty! I only have a couple ACL bottles. None of which have a real picture on them, although one with a sailing ship I debated on picking up at an antique store. It's such a shame the water does that, but currents wash away everything. Well, most things.

Think a pat'd 1920s O.C bottle would be worth picking up for ten dollars?
