Looked for the Lead Plates
A lead plate was buried near the mouth of the Muskingum River in present day Harmar by Captain Joseph Pierre Bienville de Celoron (1693-1759) on August 15, 1749. It was the fourth such marker placed by Celoron's Expedition on his trip down the Ohio River.

I think he placed 7 of them in 1749. Just wondering if anyone has put any time into them ?

I've handled stacks of lead plates, helping a Mason, for shielding the insides of a x-ray room in a hospital. 2 inch thick..

This is from Muskingum County. My friend found it on his grandparents farm in the 60's.

X-ray rooms are shielded with lead, yes, but anything over 1/4" of lead sheeting is
complete overkill, especially with the amount of weight involved. A single 4x8 sheet
of 3/4" plywood, including a 1/4" lead laminate, weighs in at over 500 pounds.

Walls of 2" lead would require a massive concrete or I-beam substructure to support it.

We layed it on top the structure between the ceiling, not much room, that was a bitch..

I remember pallets of stacked plates, we would transfer them into wheelbarrow, then wheel them in. They had male and female joints. I can't remember the exact size, but I have a text out, trying to get confirmation on thickness we installed.
I am surprised to see what Google had to say.
I have a bad memory, but I didn't help install 1/8 inch lead shielding, that I know. Maybe inch, but I thought two..
I hope to hear back..

Be interesting to hear what the actual thickness was. FWIW, I spent much of my working career
in the shielding business, although it was mostly RF and microwave. I do know that X-ray fields
tend to weaken quickly, meaning if you're standing 6-8 ft. from the source you're only absorbing
less than 25% of the original field strength.

I was talking about the lead plates deceleron planted in 1749 to mark the lands in America for France'

He buried them? I've never heard of anyone finding one of them, but
I can imagine it would bring a pretty penny.

Do you have approximate locations on any of them?

 

[Gare]

No i do not have much information on them. Wish i did. He had a journal and posted about them in his journal. I am not even sure he buried them. But what he did was claim the land for France.

I In 1749 the French Governor of Canada sent Celoron de Blainville (sometimes called Celeron de Bienville), with 235 French and Indian troops down the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers to re-possess the western lands for France. Along its route the expedition buried six leaden plates.

OKI Wanna Know: Has anyone looked for Ohio's Celeron plates? (And what the heck are they?)

OKI Wanna Know answers questions about the Cincinnati area, and this time digs up a story before the French and Indian War.

Any river experts here. Just seems he put them at the head waters of the rivers. How much would the head waters change in 277 years

Céloron Plate - Encyclopedia Virginia

French Captain Pierre Joseph Céloron de Blainville placed this lead plaque at the junction of the Kanawha and Ohio rivers in 1749. He was leading an expedition to expel British traders from the region and claim all territories watered by the Ohio River for France. Translated to English, the...

What is your definition of headwaters in this case?

I Wiish I Would have had The wherewithal To Look for The Missing Plates . That is one of the ultimate Treasures in the N.E.

though I Don't know What I Would have Done if I Had & Succeeded
Not Trusting Greedy Lawyers Or the Greedy Powers that Be.
