Message In A Bottle Found After 96 Years

Story.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Darin Winkler was out walking the banks of the Spokane River with his kids last weekend when he saw something that looked...

It looked like an antique bottle, with an old-fashioned cork stopper.

So Winkler and his kids, Evan and Iris, walked up and took a closer look. That's when they saw it.

A message in a bottle.

Winkler grabbed the bottle and took it back to his house. He carefully teased the note out of the bottle. The paper was a little damp, flaking in places, but mostly intact. The first thing he saw took his breath away: "March 30, 1913."
