Went to Tremont to Hunt But the Field Need Mowed Yet



so after some quick thinking I decided on Tower City Carnival Grounds & Ball Field.
When I arrived it was Being Mowed. But the Majority was already Done, So I Suite up.

1938 View was a Field Only.
The "Old Pool" Was the Recreation Area. See Far Right

built 1922



1958 view

1949 a new pool was built just to the west
and 1951 the ball park was added
1953 the carnival grounds were added

1971 view Notice Plane in the NW Corner.
Was used by the Kids to play on, Sometime in the 70's Tower City Donated it to Fort Indian town Gap Military Reservation

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Nice Buff. I zoomed way in and my mind almost wants to see a date, 1938, then again is it 33 or maybe 23, don’t know... Congrats!

Nice short hunt. The Buff is a cool dig. See you weren't ruling out anything seeing the pop tops. I do the same. GL out there.

Interesting example of research information! As well, a good example of Due Diligence Research!

Nice job..

 

[releventchair]

Quite the site.
Scored a Buff , that'senough to not be skunked.

I cheered looking at the big trees. (Good place to fight roots.)

The pics of the field reduced the cheer real quick. Lots of ground there!

Looks like Indian Town Gap is still active. Quite a scene in 1975...
A foster brother went through there. As did many folks. 20,000 plus in 8 months.

I found a roll of dateless buffs I've had since I was a kid. I bought the nic-a-date and had a ball. It worked on all the nickels but they didn't come out of the ground. Nice pics of your hunting spots. Gary
