I put the F75 down for a few min......
Thanks to Bill Henderson & his son's for inviting me to share in one of their spots..........a river that they have been pulling old bottles & other relics out of. I'm going to do a W&E Treasures article & we have also filmed twice for my version of a "Saving History" DVD.
Here's his son Steven & I showing how we feel around the bottom of the river bed.....I'm pulling out a whole handful of debris.

here's an awesome stoneware ink that Bill found...perhaps the earliest whole piece to surface so far.....

me and a buddy found these 2 marked heartbreakers (mid 1800's stoneware beers?) back to back around the same area. I was so excited I almost dropped the camera in the water!
We are hoping to find the tops for a glue job....Mine's the blue one "Perkins and Nuttall". These are highly collectable & I have always wanted to dig one whole as I glued another one in the past.....

This is maybe my favorite looking piece to come out of here..........Bill's amazing black lettered Anchovy Paste from London...
[attachment 69245 RiverAnchovy.jpg]
We have found lots more stuff including small items like clay pipes, marbles, etc too...........
here's a nice blob top I got last time. A greenish "Moxie Nerve Food" full of bubbles.....
[attachment 69246 RiverMoxie.jpg]
Finally, we have dug about 25 of these so far...........
me and a few others think they are mill related. Like they held the spools or something. Too big & 2 many to be a stopper......
