On Saturday it was a scorcher here the thermometer in my yard was over 95 Fahrenheit so I spent 7hrs in the water and does that ever beat the heat. :tu:
I went down to a spot I had seen a bottle hunter on Friday while I was driving around and the first thing that I saw was a couple overturn their canoe trying to shoot the rapids.
Sorry that it is out of focus but here they are rounding up their floating goods.
Not long after they rounded the bend this group of kayakers showed up to play in the rapids so I assumed that the couple were able to recover most of their stuff as they never came back.
The bottle hunter was not very thorough as there were still some to find. Most are going to the be recycled.
But there were some nice ones as well.the Pepsi bottle is marked 1955 and I like the slogans on the Stubby bottle "a jolly good mixer" and "zip in every sip".
Not a ton of targets for the amount of time I was in there but the brass and copper does add up.
And I did finally found my first homemade bullet fishing sinkers.
Sunday was a whole different weather story as we were blanketed all day by smoke from nearby forest fires. This is a shot of the sun at 10:30 in the morning and it never cleared all day.
