Hunted an old mill site today

[treasurekidd]

Or close to one anyway. I read about the old Ram Tail Mill in Foster, RI at one of the famous Ghostown sites last night, and decided to check it out. Me and my buddy spent an hour just finding the place due to vauge directions on the site. Well, we parked, walked down the old mill road into the woods for about a half mile, and found that the old wooden bridge refered to in the website story is now in the river. It was walk through 4 feet of COLD water in our skivvies with our detectors held high, or detect the old mill road and the picnic area right on the river bank. We chose not to freeze, and hit the old dirt road and picnic area, along with some fishing spots. Our meager finds are posted below. The knife and fishing stuff was just lying on the riverbank, and being a big bass man, I grabbed em. 7 clad pennies, and some sort of old handle that I think is copper. We're gonna go back in a few months more prepared to cross the water. HH!

Oh yeah, I'll be back to that mill as soon as the weather and the water warm up to wade through. I',m jst hoping that the ghost of the mills night watchman (that supposedly haunts the mill grounds) is still walking through every night, dropping 1800's coins, lol!
