[jeff of pa]

went to Swatara State Park today since it
was the only place We could agree on With shade.
Everything is Grown up like Jungle,
But decided on an 1875 or older School site

from 1875 Lebanon county Map


1939 arial


1971 Arial


Today


My finds were this Practice arrow



A Baloon


1919 Wheat


and An Old Bracelet


not sure if Yellow Jackets or Yellow Hornets ?
they were small, Very Angry & Packed a Good Sting.
While walking in the woods I Must have
kicked a ground nest.
After one stung me & I Killed it,
they started Multiplying.
Flying in my face Landing on my arms & Clothes.
Had to do a dance for a Little then moved away from them.

========

We then went to the FEEDER BRANCH
of the UNION CANAL.



While there I Got a deep Iffy Signal
The Kind I Love because they usually
Surprise Me.

I Have my Mighty AP Digger in to the Handle
& Check with my Probe & Still deeper.

All of a sudden I Hear this womans Voice
I Turn around to see a Cute Tiny Park Ranger
walking towards me. So I Nod a Hi !
& Stand up & take my phones off,
& She's asking me if I Know We need Permits.

I Explain this must be new Because I Was told
to just "Go & Have at it Whenever"
a few years ago.

She was very cool, Told us When , & Where to get
the "FREE" Permits.
Asked us if we heard of the Treasure Found in England
& said how she wanted to go get a detector & Hunt
for Treasure After seeing that.
We talked about the Park Plans,
Litterbugs, Ect.
Said Our Good Bye's
Then headed home

Great looking bracelet Jeff
Maybe you should have offered a trade to the park ranger for her phone number!
I like the balloon too, looks like it might be an antique.

I found out about the Permitt some years back. Was detecting a Park Beach and noticed a Ranger watching. He walked up and asked us if we had a Permitt. WE said no, we didn't know we needed one for the beach. He wrote us one on the spot and then told me that He has an Explorer too. So we talked detecting a while.
