[Rockhounds] Wheatfield Mine, Berks Co., PA

[Tim Fisher]

This mineral source has been discussed on the list before. It's now 
under the Berks Co. landfill. Anyway I just discovered, while doing 
some genealogical research, that my family (GGGG grandfather), in the 
person of William Fisher, owned the mine at one time, after which his 
farm was known ad the "Wheatfield Ore Farm". Too bad it was between 
1776 and 1842!
