Was able to hunt a bit....took a shortcut on the way out through a field and was followed by nosey horses....Found some really cool FDRoosevelt campaign buttons but cant get them to show up on camera correctly,also found some great silver/opal and silver /mother of pearl mens shirt studs,the old train light was also a nice suprise.....Lots of junk....still cleaning and digging....have to hit the silver soon.....

I am not exactly ,but they were different at the civil war era,then they went to this style sometime at the turn of the century....they stayed like this until they took the eagle motif...so maybe PBK can help us out ?

Re: Gypsy's Ghost Town Hunt 8/27/pics added

I'm just curious Gypsy, have you found any documentation on Indian tribes in the area? That rock pile looks like something we have out here in Oregon. A rite of passage for Indians out here was to go out on their own for a week or two, starving themselves until they had visions.... all the while doing physical labor to help bring on the visions. Piling up rocks was one practice.

Maybe the rock pile came from a farmer clearing his field though. Any ideas?

Jeffro
After studying the area for some time ,I found evidence of two stone covered graves directly across the river from the saw mill.I have been trying to get firm documentation on this,but was told by a retired schoolteacher (who's grandfather had one of the first lumber yards) that an Indian Chief and his wife were indeed buried here. Evidently they both were sick and when they arrived here to trade,they died and were buried by the townspeople in the woods.
