Saw this Title in the Local
News Website this morning

Developer plans to renovate 'old school'

And after Reading it & seeing a EMail address for the
Developer, I Sent an EMail Requesting to Search it.
30 Minutes later I had permission
for DK & I so we ended up there this Evening.

School Built 1931

site was loaded with Trash
shotgun Brass, Can Tabs, foil, Slaw, etc.
Not a Big area to search I Believe we Covered it

My take 1957 Wheat
1958-D Jefferson, 1966 Memorial

and a Rusted Ivory Pocket Knife

a thousand pans before you find Color when
your as Green as I am at seeing the signs
of where to pan.

I Doubt they will remove the Hedge
But the Coins we found were all
Directly Under them at hard spots.

You are Correct on that being where everything still is.

Part of the Article

Russell, also a revitalization committee member, hopes they will be able to keep the building's front exterior intact, which includes the nameplate and triple arches in front of the auditorium. They intend to do so, they said.

The couple, who attended the school together as juniors, has been considering a range of options for the three-story, brick structure . Larsen Design Group, Williamsport, has already given the pair some possibilities, and they've come up with some of their own. They include a library, senior center, gymnasium, fitness center, indoor walking track, four-lane bowling alley, municipal offices, laundromat or a combination of uses.

he plans to make the building as "green" as possible by installing a geothermal system for heating and cooling or possibly adding a windmill for power. No matter what the final outcome, they
intend to name the finished project "The Old School."

building was erected in 1917 with a large, brick addition being completed there in 1931. the 1917 building on the west side was torn down years ago, and the 1931 structure is what remains today.

there is a "Subway" restaurant on the site of
the 1917 part.

I hunted my old high school when I first started. I found most of the good stuff under the first floor windows. Back when I first started school there there wasn't any air conditioning and the windows were always open in good weather. A lot of "stuff" flew out of those windows from the ground floor to the third floor. I remember one time when as a prank a couple of boys threw the teacher's desk out of the third floor window. If anyone had told on them they would have been expelled but it was a memorable event. Monty

Morning !

I have what you may Consider an Unusual offer. I have been Thinking about
Using my Metal detector in the Grass area Behind the Hedge in front
of the School for Years now & Keep putting off asking you.

I Just read the article on your plans for it.

My Offer, IF you can give me Permission to do so, I Would be willing to
show & Turn over anything I Find which
you Feel is School Related. You could then if you Wish add a Display in the Building somewhere.

There could also be a Slight Possability of a Lost
Class ring or more in there, Which would
be Nice if we could Find & Return
at the Photo shoot. Which if you Read when Sweet arrow
was Drained, You Know I
Enjoy doing this for People.

I Can Search it By myself Or IF It
would be OK I could also Bring Dave
from Williamstown along to Increase our
Odds of Finding some things.

We are very Carefull When we Retrieve Items & Will not do any Damage.

My Cell Phone #
If you Wish to Discuss it Fruther.
