The finds from February the 24th, as mentioned in a past issue of ICON Digest. Lovely, we practically found more beehives (which the next picture posted will be of) that day than I had in my collection, of course, I didn't keep all of them, they went home in three equal shares, as did all the rest. Hunting miles and miles of abandoned telegraph line through raspberry canes and burdocks, and gettin' your appendages all cut up does pay off eventually, even though we found most of our best stuff right near the start of the hunt, near the road, which surprised me. All in all, though, it was a good day, and we lugged home the following in our backpacks:

(5) G.N.W. TEL. CO. CD 145 beehives, three in aqua, one in a very light aqua with a fair amount of bubbles, and one steel blue with it's original tie wire (all of these beehives are pictured in the sun). (1) Brookfield "B" Beehive with original tie wire. (15) DOMINION - 42 CD 154's and CD 155's, in various shades of straw, peach, and teal green. (3) HEMINGRAY CD 152's, all in aqua.

Good hunt.
