Me and Dave hit a few spots today,one was in Martians Creek near the Delaware river.There were a few old stone foundations over looking the river, it was a cool place to explore,but we didn't find any bottles.We did find some stone lined pits, but they were filled with new 1950s junk.
We decided to go to the (Badger dump) that's where Dave spends a lot of his time.He has pulled out a ton of blobs and hutches there.But it seems every time I go I don't get doo doo.This time I pulled out a bottle that shocked me.It was a Wm A SELSER "Guarantted Direct From Bees" it not a fancy bottle,it is not a colored bottle but it is a "go with" to my Bee bottle which is also a Wm A Selser product,that being honey.
Wm A Selser was a prominent figure in Wyncote, Pa that is where he ran his honey bottling operation.Before that he sold bee hive's and bee keeping equipment in Philadelphia.
Thomas J Wieckowski the author of the book "Making of Marathon" a history of early Wyncote found the "Bee Bottle" on my web site and asked if he could use it in his book.Its cool when your bottle digging contributes to history,and it is saved for people to see.
I never thought I would find another bottle relating to the BEE,but you never know what is going to pop out next! That is why I love this hobby so much. Ok im done yackin []
This made my day

Cool find on the honey bottle, Rick. Now the bee has a friend.
That is a sweet marble that Dave found. I wish we had dumps that gave up hutches like that. We're usually lucky to find one around here. ~Jim

Nice hutch, even a mug-base. I don't know when I'll get out to dig again, but I'm going to one of these days. ~Jim
