Heritage Festival Displays - 4/25/2011 11:27:06 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 3878 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Delta's Heritage Festival is this coming Saturday. The main theme of this year's festival is local military and civilian contributions from the revolutionary war on.  I just completed my display about a local Civil War veteran that lived where I dug a belt plate in 2005.  I lined the case with local Peach Bottom slate.  First I'll show the case and then individual pics of whats inside.

Doesnt seem all that far from here. Seems like it should be a good fossil hunting area?? < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 4/25/2011 11:56:23 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 8

RE: Heritage Festival Displays - 4/26/2011 12:07:41 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 3878 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Yeah Matt its not too far.  Its also not much, but has plenty of "charm".  You'll have to pay a visit to Rivendell and I'll show you around!  Plenty of interesting geology but fossils it aint got.  Reason being, Peach Bottom slate is the oldest slate around, formed 600 million years ago there were no life forms around to be captured in it.  This years redneck fest..., oops I mean Heritage Festival will be the 15th and maybe the last, that's why I'm doing my Stonetown display.  I think it will continue though under new management. _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....

RE: Heritage Festival Displays - 4/26/2011 12:22:07 AM    Steve/sewell Posts: 4289 Joined: 1/23/2010 Status: online Thats good stuff Steve the case looks great. I had become good friends with the Philadelphia Flyers ex head coach Ken Hitchcock when he was here three years ago.He was a huge civil war buff and we would talk for hours when we could and I gave him some of my relics found on battlefields on private property in Virginia.In turn he has helped and continues to help to this day my 16 year old son Steve in his Ice hockey career.I love the civil war history and one of my favorite places to visit is Harpers Ferry West Virginia.I think it is one of the most beautifull places in the United States. There was a small skirmish fought in Sewell New Jersey during the civil war a battle in nearby Mullica Hill bled over to here 5 miles north.In fact Sewell is as far north of the Mason Dixon Line as Gettysburgh. < Message edited by Steve/sewell -- 4/26/2011 12:23:48 AM > _____________________________ Auf Wiedersehen (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 10

RE: Heritage Festival Displays - 4/26/2011 12:40:45 AM    cobaltbot Posts: 3878 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Thanks Steve, I agree about Harper's Ferry, I've visited about 5 times in the last five years and each time just gets better!  Love exploring there and also sitting outside on the restaurant porch having a great meal and a beer while soaking in the sights of the Potomac & the Shenandoah rivers and mountains is none too shabby!  Big fan of Western Maryland/Va/WVa in general.  I read somewhere that more civil war relics are found in New Jersey 1930's dumps than just about anywhere.  They said New Jersey supplied tons of veterans who made it home like my guy, and when they passed around !920's -1930's their relatives did not consider the stuff grandpa brought home to be antique yet so out it went in 30's dumps.  Interesting about the Sewell skirmish I didn't realize anything battle wize went on in New Jersey, but more stuff happened than well ever know! _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back....
