Collecting Bottles From The River

Рет қаралды 83,901

7 жыл бұрын

Here I search the river for collectible bottles that have worched out of the river bank and been swept downstream. I also use my homemade underwater viewer for a little while. I find some milk bottles and explain what I see as it pertains to nature, animals, wildlife, dumps and how to best search them.

Nice milk bottle finds! I have found a few I made a viewing device similar to yours using two number #10 tins tops and bottoms removed, duct-taped together with a round piece of plexiglass on the bottom, and a handle attached. While I was going up a river years ago,, a fisherman scolded me for poaching with a gaff, he thought, until I showed him my old bottles.

I'm down in Tampa FL so no chances of finding any of that awesome stuff down here so I have to live vicariously thru your videos lol. I suppose I could travel over to the east coast and scuba if I had the equipment and try to look for coins and such but no cool war stuff for me, Anyway keep up the great work and looking forward to many more. take care man.

From the Wampole and company bottle, OH, the in intrigue: " Philadelphia, April 25, 1908 Charges of defalcation and misuse of his firm's funds, made when the body of Henry K. Wampole was found on September 8, 1906, in North River, New York. after his mysterious disappearance from a hotel in that city, were recalled this week when Albert J. Koch and S. Ross Campbell, his surviving partners, filed an answer in Court of Common Pleas. No. 5, in the suit of Henry S. Wampole, administrator of the Wampole estate, for a full accounting by Koch and Campbell. A brief history of the firm is given in the answer, telling how it was organized in 1886 for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and chemical products."

I like your longer videos. Thanks for making these, been watching for about a year now. maybe one day ill do some Junk hunting of my own, but more importantly, id like to get on the rivers one day. I used to go rafting once or twice a year, absolutely loved it. your videos remind me of it so much, so thanks. I was reading in the comment just now and someone asked about seeing your collection. during the winter when you have some down time, you should make a video showcaseing and explaining your favorites within your collection, I say favorites and not best because sometimes the story makes the peice and not the value of it. Just a small suggestion.

I live near the Kalamazoo River in Michigan and there are local groups that organize "clean ups", usually in the spring along the river banks. Our waterways are getting better. Northern Michigan is much better, maybe they were never as bad as the more populated areas. The Kalamazoo was awful when I was growing up because of all the paper companies dumping waste in it. It was white/milky green...could not see the bottom. I always thought that my fingers would fall off if I touched it. There are people that would love the bottles you discard. People also buy old glass shards to use in art projects. It would help if you could post the coordinates of where you are hunting, so others can collect.

I saw some questions on cleaning bottles. The best way "not the safest way" I've found is soaking them in the works toilet bowl cleaner. I put them in five gallon buckets and pour it on. leave them in there for a couple days. they wipe clean. BE CAREFUL WERE THICK RUBBER GLOVES, DO THIS OUTSIDE, DON'T BREATH THE FUMES, WEAR GOGGLES FACE SHIELD COULDN'T HURT.

Also, any bottle with hexagonal sides are very collectable, even old screw tops but the better ones are cork top. So, the shape and designs of the bottle or on the bottle, ( raised lettering ) make them collectable.😉

when I was young My father and I were using a 10 gal tank in the gulf of Mexico as a way to see in the water and using a sane net to pick up star fish and some other types of fish but interestingly we saw a octopus scurry into the mouth of a tall boy beer can we picked it up and looked inside and there were tons of octopus babies inside of the can along with the grown one we left it out there but it was pretty cool to find...no relics just fish and stuff was still fun.

At 5:01 when you find the horseshoe there looks to be a burnt piece of wood directly above the horseshoe you are holding. To the left of it towards the top of the screen looks to be a bottle neck poking out of the mud...to the left of that is a pair of probably broken glasses sticking up out of the water....maybe.

Yes, the cylindrical bottle is worth something. Many bottles are collectable just because of their unusual shapes or colors.
