Old Bottles

[solodiver]

OK how many divers out there find and collect old bottles?

I'm one of those that digs around in the mud and silt to find old bottles, I have found some nice ones. my favorite are the old tordedo bottles.

I know in my neck of the woods there are alot of goodies burried under the mud, I just don' like to try to find them with out knowing for sure where they are on account of to much silt.;-0

Just last night I sez to Shane, "Shane...we gotta go bottle diving."
Shane sez, "Smell this."
I sez, "Hmmm... that smells good.... that smells like anise."
Shane sez, "Smells like licorice to me....where did I find this?"
"Dunno" sez I...

Some where along the line Shane had picked up a little brown bottle about 3" high and put it in his pocket.

Here several weeks later... sometime after our Canada trip... he pulled it out and washed the sand out. It still had some white crystals in it.

So we took turns sniffing the little brown bottle with the pleasant smell.

Yup... we gotta go bottle diving.

Now I know which one of you I want doing the cooking if I ever have the pleasure of coming your way to dive!

UMMM, you guys did "waft" the scent of an unknown substance toward your face instead of doing the old "stick and snort" didn't you?
