An Undisclosed Location!

This is the only photo allowed to be released by my scuba buddy dive team for the day. Our treasure trove of goodies we found for the day is to be kept secret, Shhhh! and watch out for the tankers!

My prized find, a "Hathorn Springs, Saratoga, N.Y." bottle is rumored to be "beginner's luck", but when I look at it on my shelf, I think differently! ;-)

A history excerpt from "HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.", by NATHANIEL BARTLETT SYLVESTER:

This spring is on Spring street, directly opposite the north wing of Congress Hall. It was discovered in 1869 by some workmen employed in placing the foundation of the brick block which contains the ball-room of Congress Hall. It is named in honor of the Hon. Henry H. Hathorn, who first developed the spring and rebuilt the famous Congress Hall Hotel. The spring was very securely tubed in 1872, at the large expense of $15,000. The Hathorn spring has since become one of the most valuable springs in Saratoga. Large quantities of water are bottled and sold in the leading towns and cities of the United States and Canada.

My cool bottle dates back to the 1880's! And at dinner that night, someone revealed a hair tonic bottle from London, England that dates back to the 1820's! There's good stuff in the St. Clair River, go dive it (with me)!
