Excellent score today! I was a little tentative about diving in the Tennessee today, as the current is raging due to the fall lake drawdown. They are spilling 5 spillways plus running all generators. But the weather is awesome, so I suited up and dropped in. Within 3 minutes I hit paydirt, a base script, straight sided, brown Coke (1902-1915). The top is slightly chewed, but in fair shape overall. My digital camera is on its way, so I'll post some photos when I get it. Till then, this is nearly exactly what I found.

I also found a sweet stopper top medicine bottle. Got pretty exhausted in that current though, and was blowing through my air so aborted the dive after about 30 minutes. This made my whole holiday weekend! Just another thing to be Thankful for on Thanksgiving
