To bad you can't get on the old farmstead.. Nice job on the wheat.

I'm tempted to ask, but the place has signs that list it as a Conservancy .
Allot would depend on not only the Friendliness of the owner,
but whether or not He's still has control over his property.
I'm pretty sure The George Washington Story is fake, maybe Conrad Weiser though.
Not sure on Putnam, History online is Scarce, he owned land in Lancaster or Berks County,
and at that time almost all Eastern PA was Lancaster & berks Counties :tongue3:


Interesting , The Conservancy may not be Legit.

These 2 interest me also, Along with the Camp Ground.

I bet in a pinch, a small section of 4" pvc would work.....:dontknow:

Yep! I have an Minelab Explorer II that was previously used in Iraq to clear Mines and it has an arm cuff made from a piece of black PVC pipe. I guess it was a little tricky to do as the arm cuff for these has a rectangular piece that fits into and slides up and down inside the swing arm. Maybe they used this piece from the old arm cuff and attached the PVC to it but it works fine. Also, a replacement arm cuff for my' JW Fishers Pulse 8X can be easily made from a piece of PVC pipe!
