Another 'Blood Heat' Thermometer
I got to locate 3 new foundations yesterday, I put them on the 'to do' list and returned to the one where I found the love token and 1818 cent.
the first four pix are the 'New' foundations, I believe the two stones in pic 2 are grave markers... these new ones are small homesteads, the 5th pic shows the 'Centerhearth' where I hunted, it was a large grand home by Colonial standards, three entrances, the front one has a massive granite entry step,
a slab about 5'X5' and 15" thick! you can see part of it to the right of the tree.
it is really difficult to show these structures in a photo, they are so much more impressive to see in person....
spent 3 hours or so, picking inch by inch through the iron & junk, and after all the hiking today was pretty beat.
Not much found, period brass thermometer backing, range from -40 to 140 degrees, 'blood heat', at 100, 'Sunny' at 75 'temperate', at 65 'freeze', at 32, and
'zero' at zero, second of this type by different Mfgs I've found, saw another posted on tnet also. (johnnyblaze?) 3 different companies using the same script temp descriptions, kinda interesting, bottom pic in reply is the one I dug before.
a stamped steel spoon for Quindy
and another pewter shaker top
Got the remains of what may have been a ferrotype photo brooch (the pin orientation is across the short axis, good for a portrait, unusual otherwise...
also a Percussion cap (much bigger than the ones for my 1859 "New Army" rep)
and what I thought was a handgun shell, is actually a .410 base
I've now gone over this site very carefully and plucked out what was left
I think....
Thanks for looking !! HH All
