Field CollectingPennsylvania collectors, Christian Armitage Farm, Stroudsberg area, PA
13th Dec 2009 22:28 UTCJoseph Polityka Expert
Have any of you PA collectors ever collected at the Christian Armitage Farm near Stroudsberg, PA? The location was listed in Russel P. McPHall's book as a quartz collecting site. My wife and I collected this specimen at the farm in 1968. Have any of you PA collectors visited the location recently? I remember paying Mr. Armitage a collecting fee while he was feeding his dairy cattle. We never returned to the farm.
Best,
Joe

I was just curious to find out if any collectors have gone there recently. Quite a few houses have been built in the area and I think the farm no longer exists. I might take a ride up there in the future when we have a nice weekend. Please keep in touch and have a happy holiday.
Best wishes,
Joe

Very interesting you should mention that - I was up near the Wind Gap Ridge today with my rockhound colleague looking for Quartz, but no luck. I had prospected a few spots 7 miles west of the water gap, but did not make the time to go looking door-to-door. It would really help if we had a map or some specific directions to this place. I know a Geology professor that lives in the E.Stroudsburg area, but he is usually really busy and I haven't had the opportunity to field collect with him there yet. Can you provide any other details?
