That's so cool they sent her an old shilling. lol
I once sent out a message in a bottle when I was a kid in a river near us (sw Iowa). It was found about 2 years later down in the middle of Missouri!

That is very cool! I found one a couple of months ago on one of my beachwalks. After I got the lid off the bottle and used my multi tool to actually pull the scrolled paper out, I found that it was a heart wrenching love letter intended for one specific person. It asked that if it was found by someone other than that person to please put it back. I rolled it back up, placed it in the bottle, sealed it, and sent it back adrift. The odds of that ONE person actually ever seeing it are probably astronomical, but I did my part. I'll always wonder about it though.

To have all that love for one person and they'll never know.

You can not post this without telling us what the note said!

I would never leave the peas hanging, so it was like a full page, both front and back. The summary is, "I did something stupid so you left me. I really, really, really LOOOOOVE you and want you to come back." Sadly, the stupid thing he did is never specifically addressed so the nosey bitch side of me was quite unsatisfied with this. Nevertheless, I still put it back in the drink.
