I was really stupid for going down here to explore by myself! Trying to to get out of here by myself was death defying!

You have to be in semi shape to climb out of that place[:D]

The main day for Shupps is Sat right? We can't go until Sunday.

Correct pronunciation is BETHlem or BETHlum. Who needs training?

I'd ask you which crick that is, but I figure you won't tell me anyway! (I say creek, but I think I'm in the minority around here!)

If you decide to go here, though, let me know - maybe I'll stop by!

I say both creek or crick. Philly people say Beth lee ham [:D]

That crickcreek is down by the river past the canal and a hop skip and a jump to the train tracks [8D]
Your crickcreek or mine? (both, probably.)

I had to dig myself foot holds, but at the top it got too steep and I was hugging the side of the hill... still not quite sure how I got out of there myself, but I was quite proud of myself and relieved when I made it! If you go there, take a rope!
As far as Shupps Grove, I'll be there Friday night and Saturday.

Nice digs!! I've always been fond of Doylestown bottles since I have family that lives there. If you ever decide to part with it, keep me in mind. [:D]

Badger got that one. I'll let him know since he is a stranger around here [:D]


Hahaha Thanks Rick! [:D]

Looks like a great dump to dig! With the help of gravity, and occasional big rains to wash them away, the tailings/backfill piles must not be too much of an issue there. Plus you can scan what didn't get washed away for marbles/tokens/coins/silver. I find sterling flatware frequently enough for it to be worth keeping an eye out for, and a token from time to time.

If its like most of mid Pa the acidic coal ashes do a number on coins. Also make metal detecting tough.
