A group of treasure hunters have found a bottle of liquid gold that sank into a Canadian lake almost 60 years ago.
The neighbour of a Barrie, Ontario, man crashed his boat into a dock on Otter Lake back in 1964, in an incident which saw several bottles of whiskey lost.
At the time, the man found them while swimming, but he was unable to reach them.
He returned to the lake last week, bringing with him a diving expert.
It took almost the entire day, with the group getting ready to pack up, until they found three of the bottles, with one still sealed and intact.
The group then spotted more bottles buried under debris at the bottom of the lake, and is planning to return to see if it can find more that remain sealed.
The whiskey was produced by the Gooderham & Worts company, as part of a cut that was discontinued in the 1990s.
