I’m so glad you could join us!!! Thanks for coming along! Next week I ride back in and find a miner's lamp, and some cool stuff at a farmstead foundation on my way home! Join me Saturday morning?

Well THANK YOU, Richard! I rode back in, alone…and found some cool stuff, including a Justrite miner's lamp!

Thanks for the encouragement, Lee! I fancy myself as somewhat of a "trend-setter" in high fashion, so I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody’s wearing TWO sets, soon!🤣🤣🤣 Honestly though…I just needed to see…I couldn’t afford to care about how I looked.

@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion, thanks for coming along!!!

Cool beans, James! Glad you stopped by and subscribed! I live in a really great area, here in Northern PA.

That wheel may have been from a baby stroller. I found 2 at a mine town and I had to sit back and reflect on this young mother, struggling to push her stroller over uneven ground , while her husband was deep digging in a mine. That hole, not being a foundation, might be an exploratory hole, looking for a coal seam.

Yes, that makes sense too. It was pretty delicate, so I’ll go with stroller wheel! Thanks!

I’ve seen modern ones like them; called “tremulo” harmonicas. But the trees growing out of the foundations tell me that it’s been a century since the mine shut down…so it must have been old.

​@@user-nu7uk7jl5z Let me ask you this. When was the last time you saw somebody break out a harmonica and go to town in the United States?
