Today's bottle hunt

Sun Apr 10, 2016 2:52 pm

I'm meeting up at Kitsap Memorial State Park in Puget Sound area to hunt old pop and beer bottles with a friend. Today's random assortment of crap includes:

Argonaut Kraken with an AL80 full of EAN32 and that infamous USD Mariner pack with the weird straps

A Fenzy BC with original pattern Jets imported by Beuchat.

Hopefully, the bottle haul will be good today. If I get anything sexy I will post pictures :)

Wow, cool! The Argo fits behind the back pack. I've sawed the top off of back packs to accommodate double hose regs. :wink:

Bottles, dishes and double hose regs??? This is my kinda thread.....

BTW - What did you find? Can anyone dive downtown Seattle? There's got to be a ton of stuff on the bottom there.

I only found one really old jam jar with a bunch of concretion on it. You can dive pretty much anywhere around here that is not a shipping lane or ferry route. This is probably the place with the easiest access to stuff as far as places I have lived. You can dive right off of Alki beach in Seattle and find tons of stuff. I found a bunch of WW2 era bottles there last time I went. I've never found any china though like you have in your pictures.
