Unknown to each other we both stopped at this place

I was told there was someone there asking the week before.

That place looks like it ought to be loaded - makes me think of those first generation metal detectorists - back in the sixties/seventies ,
when every site was a "virgin" site !

Yes I'm 25 Minutes From Pottsville.

Place is Loaded with Poison and High weeds,
I imagine the tics & snakes were there too but as usual I didn't
see any of them

I did stop for a Gallon of Clorox though for my hands when I got home here
I should be breakout Proofed

Never been there but there seems to have been a lot of history in coal,mining ,and iron making there. I Googled the area a while back because that is where Holly Snow/ Jimmi had told me she was from. Hoping its okay to mention her name since it looks like she is still a member) We still have poison ivy growing here,that's where a good Clorox rinse will come in handy.

allot of the poison is turning Orange here now



although I would have guessed a Different Pottsville, in a different state If she had told me that,
I honestly don't know.
We do have at least one member from Pottsville stops in on occasion, &
a few from just outside the city. Yes Pottsville was where The First coal in our area was found. & the home of Yuengling Beer

The Pottsville Republican is our County News paper

Here are my finds, 18 cents and a lonely no date buffalo

Owner really knew his stuff when he said "you won't find much, I can't express how much attention this place has gotten over the years"> I'm just glad we each found something old!

yea when you walked over with it, I was really hoping it was Silver,
but a buffalo, even without a date is cool !
Thanks for posting it

I think if the place was mowed there is more, But the prime spots may have never been mowed since the place went down.

Plus if this was the Tabernacle & Lunch rooms



the floor in there may be loaded

 

[djm of PA]

floor in there was concreted over
I was in there while you were concentrating on the road

 

[jeff of pa]

LOL I peaked in when I first got down there but thought Too
dark without all the Walls opened.

 

[Old Dude]

Great looking place. Whether I was told it was hard hunted or not, I'd never pass up an opportunity to hunt it. Thanks for sharing.

I think there is a Pottsville and a Pottstown in Pa. I think she was from Pottstown. And Pottsville is the one with the shiney new Sheetz store. Is that right, Jeff?

Getting to hunt with your nephew? Priceless!
