Hello,
I have been hunting a mountain road
My hunting buddy and I have found a few coins, he has recently found 3 Indian heads and I found a 1907 D Barber half dollar (posted pic of this earlier).
Along with some trash, I have found a few spent shot gun head stamps, some spent rifle bullets and round balls, plus the other can slaw that is common everywhere.
I am doing some research on this area, there was a drop off point for the trolley and a public park, but, I cannot find out just where these were. The terrain runs uphill and I cant imagine that it was too big, but the word is that at one time there was a nickel a glass beer stand that operated in the summer for special events.
I have been looking for evidence of a foundation, but I cant find any. Tonight I found a large, wide iron staple that is some distance away from the road. As a bonus, I found a turtle shell too, they are both in the pic.
Can anyone tell me how old this staple may be? I am thinking it may have held a sign or a target on a tree at one time. This mountain has been logged out heavily over the years, but there are some larger trees standing that may surpass 100 years of age. So, I am going to keep looking.
Oh, the further up the mountain I go, the less trash there is. Makes sense to me. I have been looking for a path in these woods, but there is nothing really obvious.
Suggestions or ideas? Thanks
Check out the staple, let me know if you think it is from that time period or not. Thanks
