Ⅰ - Recovery in Alaska's Deep Ocean Channel Waters.

Simple in home, beach stroll find, or dug hole in the ground recovery it's not! …and forget placid lake diving.

Dark utter blackness and deadly cold water it is … I mentioned dark. It’s a 99% of the time feeling of awe in how unrealistic it truly can be when one tank dives alone. With occasional orca or sea lion tags and those moments of wondering if something very large and additionally dark just drifted over your head, or nudged you. I’m comfortable scuba diving in conditions of zero visibility, though sonar in hand for back-up is best. I have a background as a Certified Instrument Flight Instructor and diving experience dating back to when the UDT (similar to the Seals) was near my home while growing up. As many who enjoy the ocean, I would ride rip tides while snorkel diving and spear fishing as a youth. So too in finding items and artifacts that over the ages have been lost or cast into the oceans, thousands of pounds, researched in decades past. I’ve pursued my passion whenever I could in waters of murk and seeming void.

Ⅱ - Glass and other items recovered have been cleaned of most ocean artifacts, unless otherwise stated. They have been stored for well over 20+ years and never polished. Measurements may not be exact and can be slightly off from what is given. Any imperfection or flecks associated or not with manufacturing is stated 'as-is.' Reference numbers Ⅲ thru Ⅶ will be noted if remarkable and obvious, though use may not hold completely true.

Ⅲ - Antiquity (100+ years) glass may have been affected by differentiation in conditions (electrolysis of glass impurities) of the area they were later discovered in. Possibly show etching due to time and dissimilarity with its surroundings. Might actually give 'character' to the glass, nature's way of creating art and not just a bottle found in like new condition on some self. Or newly manufactured meant to disguise itself as an older antiquity/vintage bottle.

Ⅳ - Some sea crustaceans have been allowed to stay on glass.

Ⅴ - Bottle has original glass forming entrapped air bubbles, which have broken on surface.

Ⅵ - May have as will be noted, minor chip(s) or flea bites.

Flea Bite: an item with a minute chip or crack as small as a flea bite. Usually can be found on the bottom of the item or its rim, may not even be seen unless looking through a magnifying glass.

Ⅶ - Bottle or glass item is in near original condition as found. May contain fluids or rust/dirt spots, corks etc...

Ⅷ - *Other then Alaskan Recovered Glass* Not from Alaska waters and is either bought or discovered in lower 48 State digs. The absolute difference is location and the by far lesser risks to acquire.

Ⅸ - *Canadian Dive Glass *
