Florida Couple Finds a Real Message in a Bottle That Traveled More than 4,000 Miles in 30 Years

While finding a message in a bottle might be the Holy Grail for beachcombers, it’s a pretty rare feat. What’s even rarer? Finding one that’s spent more than 30 years splashing around in the middle of the Atlantic.

When Ruth and Lee Huenniger were out inspecting damage from Hurricane Irma near their Key Largo home, they found quite the surprise.

The message, which was undated, appeared to be from a group of school children from the eastern coast of Scotland.
