I live near where a turn of the 20th century sawmill community used to be. When the mill closed in the mid-1920s the community died.
A couple of years ago the timber company had the trees cut. Using Google Earth, I can see some of the old roads going to where the community used to be. The road is not visible from ground level, but I can see them from satellite pictures.
I can also see a path going from where the community used to be to the sawmill location. The path is overgrown with weeds after the trees were cut and would be a pain to cover.
Has anyone here ever had any luck with these types of old roads or foot paths?
I have permission to do research on the land, including metal detecting.
