Diving for bottles in upstate new york
Been diving for bottles and stoneware in differant lakes in upstate new york for more then forty years. I am getting older but still go out finding old bottles. the lakes in new york seem to have lots of bottles some lakes more then other. One of my favorite lakes to dive is one of the smallest lakes up north was horseshoe lake where round bottom bottles from Belfast Ireland were stack up like cord wood over two hundren in a pile. And some still in crates maple sryup bottles nine differnt sizes. hundreds in a piles in fifteen to tweenty feet of water.If you were a blind bottle hunter you would not have any problem finding them. Other lakes in the Adirondack good for bottles is Raquette,Sagamore,Tupper, and many more.One of the more deeper underwater bottle dumps that we found was in blue mt.lake fifty to sixty feet in cold merky water.where you would find a barrel stave sticking out of the mud. I would stick my arm in the mud up to my shoulder I could feel the bottles with my goody bag at my side ready for the bottles I would start pulling my hand out of the mud leaving a cloud of mud all around where you couldn,t see a thing.from there on its all felling for the bottles not knowing what kind of bottles you got till you fill your goody bag and come to the surface.I am just an old bottle hound.
