Coolest/Most Unique "Finds" While Diving?

[rhwestfall]

I might know someone with an Avro Arrow (test model)....

The bottle may date from the 1920s or 1930s, but the date "Dec. 25, 1923" is the date the patent on the bottle shape was registered.

I found a Coca-Cola Bottle and it may not be an old bottle. Only the shape on the bottle and that is says REG US PAT on it, an any paper label that may have been on the bottle could have said Coca-Cola. No date on it. The bottom of the bottle has some numbers and don't have a way of figuring the code?

It does also in the mold says CONTENTS 12oz.

I have had some one tell me that Coca-Cola using cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, made in Mexico, called Mexican Coca-Cola, and exported and sold in the United States, may be a bottle that was this in particular.

In a market I saw the 4 pack of 12oz Mexican Coca-Cola bottles. They look like what I found in shape, but no code of sort like I have attached the picture of the bottom of the bottle I found river diving.

Any thoughts?

The design / details of Coke bottles has a long and interesting history - the most valuable version sold not too long ago for $6000.00 U.S.! I would visit the Coca-Cola website to see the details of the version you found.

I went to Rosalita's Restaurant in Homestead Florida, where along with my mexician tacos, I ordered a soda. Made in Mexico with cane sugar. Much better tasting, less sweet, if I recall correctly. Still have the bottle.

Available at your local Costco by the pallet and is a must with the Bulleit bourbon available in the next aisle in a "family size" bottle.

Most supermarkets near me, including Kroger and Publix, have a some made-in-Mexico bottled Coca Cola tucked away somewhere--sometimes in the Mexican/international food aisle rather than the beverage aisle. Doesn't surprise me that Costco stocks them.

you can also get cane sugar coke during passover.

Found a GoPro and was able to return it to the owner. Turns out the dive guide I was with, knew the guy had lost it a few weeks prior, and we were able to verify it was his.

The History of the Coca-Cola Contour Bottle

One of the most famous shapes in the world is the iconic contour fluted lines of the Coca-Cola bottle. Check out this story and more news from The Coca-Cola Company.

The link above has an image you can see:

The bottle furthest to the right says 1957.

Nothing much can be gained other than the copy right for the design of the bottle date. The date a bottle is manufactured is what I would need to tell if it is worth anything. I can see that a bottle shape is the same today in 2024 as was it in 1957, by looking in the store, but that is all.

Nothing is mentioned about any kind of decoder for the markings on the bottle.

I may try and use the contact form on the website to see if they can answer.

Found human remains in 3 locations- arm bone WW2 wreck - femur WW2 wreck - full skeleton in a cave

found a tray of eggs at 36 m on wreck sank 35 years previous, the shells were generally intact.

Saw a documentary on a ship that sank - one of the staff was lamenting losing her favourite tennis racket - found it decades later.

A buddy found a kids shoe on a 100+ year old shipwreck - did some research turns out the captain lost his daughter and wife - the daughter was the only child on board so obviously belonged to her

buddy found a cocktail dress in a cabin brought it up and took a photo -found out who was in the cabin and he tracked her down in another country and sent her a pic - apparently she saw it and burst into tears

usual array of bullets and shells etc on ww2 wreck, bottles of liquor etc
