Close Encounters

When I first began work on this video I was a little reluctant to post it to my channel because most of my content is based on metal detecting and I figured my subscribers would thumb their nose at the video. I took the chance anyway because I wanted to point out some of the really fascinating experiences I come across from time to time and this was one of them.

Coal mining was a big industry during the late 1800s for this area. I didn't know anything about it until a few years ago and it blows my mind away just thinking about it.

Visiting a Dynamite Factory From Long Ago

I grew up in a small town called Emporium located in North Central PA. As a kid, I spent a lot time roaming what we call the "Endless Mountains" of Cameron County. When you are a kid you really don't pay too much attention to brick walls that stand in the middle of the forest or that pile of bricks covered by moss just laying in the middle of nowhere but maybe I should have.
