The note inside the bottle, written in 1960, was found in Turks and Caicos by a vacationer from Utah. It read, “Return to 419 Ocean Blvd. and receive a reward of $150 from Tina, owner of the Beachcomber.” The Beachcomber was a hotel in New Hampshire.
So the beachcomber traveled across the country to see what was at 419 Ocean Boulevard.
I wonder if they pinned a note on Jimmy Hoffa?
The bad news is….the bottle was worth $350 and he broke it…
How cool was that is was found by an American on Turks and Caicos and he returned it?
I was 6
We threw a bottle into the Po river in 1961. Right where it met the Adriatic Sea. My buddy Pete and I wrote “Get us to fuck out of the fucking Army.” Anyone find it yet?
I can’t find the grocery list I wrote yesterday.
Moe, yeah I found it. Are you still in the army?
Geez, that’s like a million dollars in 1960z money.
