1800's Village
I have been doing alot of research lately on an area about 2 1/2 miles back through my woods. This place is far back in the woods and very far from civilization from all directions ( I myself already live kinda far from civilization). Back at the area of where I am doing the research there is a water fall about 25 feet tall, knowing that you must have water to live and being that the waterfall can make power I thought I would look into it. I have found out through old people, the library archives, and some books that there used to be a village back there. There is a couple grits mills ( 2 so far ), a sawmill, grave yards ( 2 of them, 1 for each church denomination ), countless foundations, wells and springhouses.
? ? ?Finding all of these buildings and structures is difficult because they are spread out through the woods and creek. The time period of which this place existed is as early as 1789 and ended in 1810. The reason for its sudden shutdown is unknown, I believe the resources of which they were obtaining ran out. I haven't been detecting it much though because I am drawing maps, taking pictures, and trying to locate all that I can. Then I will begin detecting hard.
