bottle fields?
A coworker broke a bottle I brought up this summer. Now I have an urge to find a few more, older, cooler bottles.
I know of Redondo, Mukilteo, and port Townsend. Those are all pretty deep to spend any significant time searching. I have heard there is a field near keystone, but have no more info on it.
are there any shallower fields to search, and any fields in south sound?

Titlow has a field to the northwest of the pilings. TTN has a field north of the cabin cruiser and west of the satellite dish area.mjbickford wrote:A coworker broke a bottle I brought up this summer. Now I have an urge to find a few more, older, cooler bottles.

There are several spots along Ruston Way in Tacoma that might still yield nice finds in the 60-80' range. We've even found a few old medicine bottles and such just to th right of the Les Davis fishing pier.
Re: bottle fields?
I second Ruston Way.
This Winter I'd hit the water after Storms. Stuff does get stirred up.
Port Townsend also has bottle fields.
Anyplace there have been docks for a long time will turn up finds from time to time.
The best hunting at TTN seems to be deeper - less picked over. Or see my above comment about storms.

Re: bottle fields?
You can find some pretty good stuff off Port Townsend in the 40'-50' range, just time the current correctly. I've found bottles, china plates, even an old ink well.
60South is the guy for that area, unfortunately he now resides in Colorado.
X3 on the Ruston Way waterfront. We've found quite a few old bottles out there. Mostly in the 70'-80' range, though I did find a cool one in 25' siting right on top of the sand a month or two ago.
A couple buddies and I dive there most Weds. evenings if you want to splash with us.

How far out is it from the pilings?
Titlow has a field to the northwest of the pilings.
I've found a couple single bottles out there, but have not seen many.

Re: bottle fields?
Jump on Alaska Air and stop in to Sitka we have some great bottle fields you might have to wrestle with SitkaDiver and Diver Dave for the really really good ones but I am sure they would share

And at this point you really have to sift

Re: bottle fields?
That's how I got hooked! Then I started Kayak diving out there and got yelled at a little by the coast guard. Then I just tied off the kayak to the marker and was fine.CaptnJack wrote:Duwamish Head by the old Luna Park pier has a bottle field but its not easy pickings
