There is a building in Columbia city that has Benjamin ruapfer carved in it. Next time I go to Columbia city I'll send some images.

Yes i have talked to her, alot of the spots I go to snorkle or river search are close to Columbia city so every trip I usually find a couple. She has two of my finds, a aqua crown and a amber crown walter.

I am always delighted by such encounters where a simple piece of "trash" can make someone's day. I am now in California, diving an old sawmill site near the redwoods. I find train parts, bottles, and even clay pipes from England. I need to make a post.

Sadly this hutch is a victim of the river. It's gonna have to be a window display.View attachment 249823View attachment 249824View attachment 249825View attachment 249826View attachment 249827

I would never have thought of that A.R. as being a Hutchinson if the stopper wasn't there, looks like an earlier blob top repurposed or maybe a very early Hutchinson from before the form had been standardized?

Great finds, I've never dug a glass wax-sealer canning jar, big fragile bottles don't usually survive in creeks/rivers so I bet that was a surprising piece to come across!
