I looked on old satellite photos of a place in Langhorne and found that it was all farm land at one time, it's now a lake. A lot of the barns are now under water and most of the area is now covered in trees. I did a ton of walking in tick infested crap to find it. Well worth it...

I have no idea.. could be either

I think your right about that.
The s, is not write scrip for that time period.

 

[Metal Magnet]

awesome - i especially love finding stuff that is hidden away like that. where no one would have the foggiest idea of what was there before - and you go and pull something historic out of the ground. now that's just magic to me.
