early battlefield mowing around cannon
« on: December 15, 2020, 08:59:29 AM »
note suggest this " The tower on Culp's Hill means 1896 at the earliest and the seeming lack of the Slocum monument on Stevens' Knoll means prior to 1902, so somewhere in between those dates. In other words circa 1900" mowing in a suit and tie with a Reel Mower. enjoy

I love Gettysburg as much as anyone else but cutting grass using a flintstone mower wearing a suit and tie! I don't think so. Not me.

That is really a detector disguised as a mower!
Best,

Well in that case………. Good spot. Then again what spot isn't good in Gettysburg? Back in the day I mean. Wouldn't catch me just driving through with a broken metal detector in todays time.
