I almost didn’t recover this bottle… Its funny, because if you watch the Crystal Palace Recovery Video, you will actually see me pause and look at the bottle in depth. This dive was early in my bottle career, and I had not yet learned how to tell an old bottle from a newer one. I Read More …

Artillery shell > Sea shell
We decided to dive a different spot than usual. I dropped anchor from my kayak, geared up in the water, and headed down my anchor line into the dark and murky waters. I went down much slower this time, as I was unaware of the bottom conditions. Was I coming down onto mud? Onto Sand? Read More …
Glass Cathedrals
There are many types of cathedrals in this world, but one in particular made my day on a cold morning dive last season. The Dive As is with the majority of my dives, I find nothing of particular significance. This dive, true to form, was particularly uneventful – I didn’t see much in terms of Read More …
Draw your Pistol
“This isn’t the wild west anymore” Said a friend of mine when he saw me carrying my personal firearm on my hip. I simply replied, “I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.” These days violent crimes are everywhere. Schools, stores, movies, heck even military bases. Why Read More …
A 2112 RUSH This Is Not. . .
Okay, Okay, I’ll admit, of the three of us, I’m the one most likely to cling to my finds. . . all of them, regardless of how common a bottle may be. Hey, I still have a couple of old beer cans kicking around from my childhood collection. As I descended down my anchor line, Read More …
Did I Just Find a Safe?
Sometimes in daily life we fall into that same old routine… hit the snooze a few times, roll out of bed and fire up the Keuirg. When the Eggo pops up, you find yourself in a fog that rivals that Kiss concert back in ’86. At some point, you find yourself driving down the same Read More …
Treasure Gardens
As Spring is upon us, some of the interesting shards and pieces of my finds have found a home in my garden. I have a feeling the garden will slowly be taking on a nautical theme as the seasons pass. . .

Move your GLASS!
I have been dating the most amazing woman Samantha, whom I met while studying abroad in Italy, since April 2012. Since then, we have lived together in big and small apartments, endured different job changes, bought a beautiful home together, purchased cars together, and got engaged! I love her to death and I would do Read More …
J.H. YALE MIDDLETOWN CONN.
This was an interesting find for me. I didn’t think this was a really great find at the time of discovery, and it went into my general ‘goodie’ bag during my dive. Typically, when I know I found something really good, I will bring it straight to the surface, to make sure it is safe, Read More …
