I would have never thought of myself as an antique
collector until I started diving in Marine City. The dives here last from about 1 hour to
about 1 1/2 hours in about 20- 30 Ft of water. On these dives I usually find a
good place to
dig, (By Instinct) that I feel is going to produce bottles.

I will start fanning away the
bottom slowly going back in time as I go deeper. I have found as many as about 6 good
bottles on a single dive. And I have also gone many dives without finding a single bottle
or artifact. Other artifacts I have uncovered include brass kerosene lanterns, clay
sailors pipes, crockery, and a wood block and tackle to name a few.

The following are a few of the bottles that I have
dug up out of the river and photos of the Monarch Shipwreck click on the thumbnails to
