Bradley Dempsey searches for bottles, coins, and other relics alongside the Jeffersonville, In. waterfront. The strip of waterfront where he hunts was at one time the location of a river farey, loading/drop-off, grounds, which aids him in his discovery.

Dempsey who's been finding waterfront treasures for over 9 years, said the oldest bottle he's ever found dated back to 1854. "I love the history this place has over here," said Dempsey. "It's a shame a lot of people don't know about this down here. This is history just washing away."  March 23, 2015. (Matt Herp, Special to the C-J)
