Another mystery solved by Jeff of PA

[DKinPA]

WhitesPA and I gave it heck today for over 4 hours, walking up and down a mountainside hunting an area that he has done very well at in the past. Apparently WhitesPA and his buddies did a good job pounding this site as signals were few and far between. I did manage two keepers today, the first was a no date buffalo nickel that just kept "losing face" the longer I carried it. By the time I got home the obverse and reverse had both peeled badly. I also found two wheats that are gonna need serious cleaning to get dates from.

Now, for the mystery. I found a "keystone" shaped metal tag that I could not read at all until I gave it an electrolysis bath, then the writing started to show. I e-mailed Jeff of PA and as usual he took all of about 5 minutes to identify the tag for me. It turns out it's a tag from J.P. Dando pool in Llewellyn, PA. Not only did Jeff ID the tag he also sent me a pic of the pool in operation during the 20's and 30's as well..THANKS Jeff!!

Here's the tag:


And here's the pool in operation:



Thanks for looking!!
