What should I do if I find a message in a bottle?
Use the bottle number and password on the physical bottle to report the find, add the location, and connect the update to the same public journey.
Find a message in a bottle

A real message in a bottle is meant to be discovered later. If you find one of these bottles, the bottle number and password connect your discovery to the same public journey instead of creating a separate dead end.

Searchers often mean two different things
Sometimes people are looking for the product. Sometimes they have actually found a bottle and want to know what to do next. This page bridges both intents without sending the finder to the wrong place.
