Under water dairy

[privvydigger]

Here's one I just got in trade.....The dairy is at the bottom of Beltzville Lake...flooded many years ago by the Army Corp of Eng. Word has it if you sail to the center/deepest channel of the lake and drop anchor it will go through the barn roof. lol
No but seriously its under there somewhere.

Nice clean example. It was even tuberculin (whatever that means) tested.

From a scuba diver's perspective, I thought that only the bottle was going to be found underwater - not the entire farm.

I used Google to figure out the "tuberculin". Its just what you'd expect, I guess. It is a way of testing to see if there is evidence of tuberculosis bacteria present.

So much history is at the bottom of manmade reservoirs...or paved over.

Ah but here is some of that history, brought to life! Excellent pick up. Wonder how the cows are doing? We had the whole little town of Peach Bottom nearby on the Susquehanna. What the Conowingo Dam didn't drown was eventually covered over with Peach Bottom Nuke Plant. Talk about your off limits forever. The history of a place like that will have to live on through pictures and yet to be discovered artifacts like your milk bottle there.

You didn't find that in Beltzville did you? Just the dairy is at the bottom, right? I remember when they wanted to build Trexler Dam and flood another valley. So glad that didn't get built. Used to go up there with my ex-husband when he bought an old boat. Remember getting sumburned cuz it broke down in the middle of the lake. Had some interesting times there... never figured out where the fossils are, though... I always wanted to go fossil hunting up there.
