Hi Jeff, the Springville you are at, is that the Springville above Tunkhannock on 29?.....Joe

Love the 'Comedy & Tragedy' theater ring Jeff!
The old furniture tack is the most decorative example I've seen in a long time!

no much closer to me here in Schuylkill.

Name is also the 19th. Century Name for the town, not the present name
I always try to give the Former name when there is one.
Keeps people on their toes

Thanks Dave ! It's been Bugging me
I knew this type of tack was familiar to me.
but could not place it.
& I actually have Kitchen chairs with similar, but as you said not decorative

Back in my heavy fly fishing days I spent a lot of days fishing the east branch of the Schuykill river. Beautiful brook trout with a brown or rainbow now and then.

Nice finds, congrats on getting out MD'ing!
Get a little panning in along the way?

 

[texjim]

Nice to see that you were able to get out and swing the cob webs off of your machine..

 

[joesmarbles]

Thanks Jeff,

I am not a detector but a house clean-out guy, am doing one this Saturday. I have often thought that if a detector could find the dump for the Glen Summit Hotel they could do very well. It burned down in the early 1900's and was never rebuilt. As they say locally, if it went to the mountain, it never came down.
Hope this helps you in your endeavors. I was lucky enough to sell off the estate of Dr. Sam Buckman on Glen Summit and the artifacts went back to the Civil War and even earlier. Best wishes.....Joe McDonough

[joesmarbles]

[PA John]

Glad to see someone is out getting in some swing time!
I have a new coil for my T2 I am anxious to try out.
Hopefully I will get a little break soon to get out for a while.

 

[joesmarbles]

Thanks Jeff, I hope my Information helps all detectors in the area, as I said I am a dumpster diver(House cleanout) guy. I have been fortunate and wish to pass my good fortune to others, best wishes.....Joe

"fancy thumb tack" I might suggest a furniture tack ? Not that I know for sure, but is a logical suggestion.

Why only 90 minutes...under a time constraint ?

Can't hardly wait till my ground thaws, what a gosh darn winter this has been, for a few years in a row I was already digging weeks ago...

Good Luck Out There.

I don't know why I quit early ?
I thought the same thing after I was home

I was feeling fairly good.

Boredom Maybe or just not wanting to push things first day out
