Didn't they pay those Icehouse workers ! More relics / 1 coin

Spent another 4 hours down by the river where there was a bank of Icehouse's in the day ! I really thought that as I cleaned up the iron I would be able to pick up a few more coins. This was my third trip to this site and I have only managed 1 coin each trip. Day 1 an 1862 fatty. Day 2 a no date coronet cent and today I got a 1911 Canidian cent. If you saw the amount of Iron I pulled out of the ground that I did not haul home You woulid be amazed ! Still a fair amount of cleanup to do on this site but I think I am burned out on it for a while ! I will give it and myself a rest. I did finally manage to get a complete Ice hook tool out of the ground with a makers mark on it. W T Wood & CO. They specialized in the manufacture of Ice Harvest tools. They were located in Arlington Mass. The company was started in 1845 and closed in 1905. I am going to include a pic of one still on the handle ! I also found the big gear ! I am going to try to make a clock out 0f it since it has 12 points ! Thanks for looking MaineRelic.

I'm sure they paid them. They were probably so poor every coin was a prisoner.

You'll find them. Looks like you have to clean the place of the iron first.

Very nice finds! You could get yourself a piece of hickory or ash and fix that ice tool up like new. Would make a nice display piece.

You can keep your coins. I would take those relics any day.
