Bottles can be found in most old lakes, rivers, creeks, ponds and oceans. Many people would throw there garbage in the water. Boats would sink with there cargo. Even small fishing boats may have sprung a leak and went to the bottom of the lake . My son and I took a under water camera to a lake in our town. We spotted a wood fishing boat in about 25 foot of water. It had a crock jug and three Hutchinson soda bottles lying next to the sunken fishing boat. Masses of water was a great spot for people to gather and have picnics or parties or go fishing. Usually the bottle ended up in the water. Shallow water around the edge of lakes sometimes are the easiest bottle to retrieve. Bottles in deep water or rivers are best let to certified divers. Its not worth losing your life over a bottle.
