In my search for antique bottles & crockery, I sometimes discover relics from the logging industry that flourished from the 1850's thru till the early 40's - the item in the 1st video was called a "Peavey" and was used to roll & maneuver logs that were placed in rivers for transit to sawmills downstream. Too many men lost their lives trying to free up jammed logs that would pile up during the spring log runs. Many of these sites were so remote that the victims were often buried along the shoreline, near to where they perished. I also find the results of boater misfortune, such as the sunken Suzuki in the video - folks need to insure those transom clamps stay tight! This site was a bit lean for glass - just the pint bottle & another good ol' pickle bottle!
