Didn't know this was here
Was out detecting on Thursday and poked around a county park near to where I grew up. Our house was built in the late 50's on farmland. At the turn of the century, John M. Dennis started a dairy farm there; he called it Essex Farm. Aside from dairy farming, he found time to start a ferry line from Baltimore to Annapolis and serve as State treasurer. The milk bottles bore the letters 'SX'. Well, on Thursday I came upon a farm dump strewn with hundreds of quart necks labeled SX. Some thorough investigating yielded some cool finds: oil lamp part, curtain pull, clock part, porcelain button, metal "Talcolette" top, pipe stem, jar lids, Haynes ware base, beer bottles (2 Fred Bauernschmidts), a Fairfield Dairy half pint and what looks like glass fused in a fire. When I was a youngin' growing up there I never knew of the vast glass/trash field.
HH to All!
