    Lock Haven, it's not my fault. No luck with roll searches but I did find a VF 1919-S quarter in a small box of coins at a yard sale for a couple bucks.

    I have been hunting throughout PA for the last few years. It seems to be tapped out now, even in the rural areas - but I wonder about Tioga County and vicinity. What kind of luck have you had there, locally?

    You've got quite a memory Dick :)

    Austin, PA... that's not terribly far from Bradford, is it?

    Easy search. Vowinkle isn't exactly posted here every day or even every decade.

    No it isn't. But I didn't really live "in" Austin. Austin was merely the closest place that has post office, so my address was considered "in" Austin. I actually lived in a tiny village called Costello a few miles from Austin. The description I used in that old post that Dick dragged up, is accurate :)

    But it was a really neat place ! I could hunt deer, bear, turkeys, and coyotes, literally right from my living room. The trout stream was in my backyard.

    For many Years a friend and I used the Vowinkle hotel as our bear hunting lodge. Barb and Tom were the finest hosts.

    Ever hear of Eva and Doc Kahle? They lived right down the road from that "hotel". Retired there in 1935 and he quit seeing patients about 1980.

    I sure do remember them ! We would enter gamelands off of Blood Road and more than once work our way over toward Docs.

    They were my "uncle" and "aunt". i.e. they raised my mother after her mother died when she was 8. They had a GORGEOUS house/land. It is now a lodge.

    Have wonderful memories from those bear hunting days. Just LOVE the Land up that way. Marionville will always be a nice small town also.

    I'm afraid to go to Austin. The dam might break again!

    Am I going to get edited for using the word "dam" too?

    I do have good luck with half dollars and nickels, but dimes, quarters, and cents are not really great

    Well, it is still standing, but there's a great big hole in it :D

    Yes. Every time we drove by it, my father would tell me the story.....

    I have since read everything I could find about it and even considered doing a little treasure hunting for the safe full of gold that is supposedly still missing downstream.

    With the halves, are they from boxes or CWR? I primarily hunt CWR halves and based my results on that.
