(Courtesy of Clint Buffington)Using the information on the note, Buffington worked to figure out who sent the bottle adrift in the Atlantic Ocean decades ago. Now, years after his initial discovery, the note Buffington found in that bottle has been returned to the family of the man who cast it into the waters. “All of these things are very hard to lose.”This is not the only message in a bottle that Buffington has unearthed. “I feel like they’re sending me a message somehow.”According to the station, the message was written sometime between 1960 and 1980.
