1780 Grist Mill * Winter Snow Hunt * V

[CMDiamonddawg]

TNet , 1-26-11 Wed. 36 degree temp . The mill is still the hot spot for diggin' , slightly frosty , but still heats up to the Best hunts in a long time . I tried a different area . I believe this ,once cleared, area was once a loading /unloading spot for the mill workers , logging products of eastern red cedar and customers for these products ...sort of a 250 year old parking lot and loading dock for wagons and tavelers . Here are some more of the results of some tedious work and a lot of research. Ladies hair ornamental piece ,colour backmark buttons , gold plated ornament for ??, more rosettes , horse shoes , square nails "not shown in pics" , horse head copper tag , interesting Queen cameo medallion 8) 8) , and hours of FUN. Thanks for stopping in and get out and find some stuff , even in the snow . daWg
