Our Latest Treasure Pulled from Keys Waters

          No fish today, but we didn't come home empty-handed...

     When we were younger here at The Keys Store, we would hit the water and come home with treasures all the time.  Now that we're saltier, we spend more time in the shade but from time to time, it's nice to get back out there.  If you've never been diving in the Keys, consider putting it on your bucket list. 

     While it's rare to find Atocha silver, emeralds, and centuries-old treasures, it's not uncommon to pull out some vintage pieces like these weathered Coke bottles found just offshore in less than twelve feet of water.  The bottles are marked, "Key West" on bottom and the ones we find vary in age and patina.  

     We love finding old bottles while out snorkeling or spearfishing and use them for lots of things.  This trio will get washed a second time (the hose did a decent job but they're still crusty on the inside) and be displayed until we get some inspiration.
