Just a heads up for anyone looking for a great price on that book. I think it typically goes for a lot more. I already have a copy so don't need it.

This tree/bush is flowering right now in woods surrounding my property. Smellsvery fragrant like lavendar. Anybody familar with it!

There is a show called "Diggers" on National Geographic channel where these 2 dorky guys go metal detecting at historic sites. Last nite's episode had them at Cedar Bridge Tavern in Barnegat. The theme of show was to prove whether or not the Revolutionary squirmish actually happened there or...

Hey, do any of you guys happen to know the type of trees that line the old mill pond at Weymouth. I'm talking about the several very large trees that line the old pond near where the mansion used to be. I had a photo posted on facebook of me standing next to one and some guy guessed which...

The Asbury Park Press had an article today re an unpcoming meeting to decide if the State will buy the Tavern for $120,000 from Mr. Koenig. Koenig has owned it for 40 years and is in his 80's. He is allowed to reside in the house indefinately but the property will be under the authority of NJ...

The little mill pond dam at Allaire Village broke open during the heavy rainfall on Saturday night sometime. The opening is 50 feet wide and the mill pond is empty. This also means the road into the village is out so this part of Allaire is inaccessible to visitors. I feel bad for all the bass...

I was at Quaker Bridge today. I found a cellar hole on the east side of the bridge. I also found a celler hole maybe a mile before the bridge (travelling east) on the right side of the road. Both were big holes. I wanted to ask if the cellar hole at QB is the former hotel if anyone knows and...

Saw a promo for a show entitled "The Echoes of Amatol" which will be aired on New Jersey Channel 12 next Sunday at 10:27 (I guess PM). The promo said they have been researching the area for several months in prep of the documentary. Should be good.

I went in search of Union Forge and the mansion that Beck discusses. I first went to the wrong former lake and got destroyed by briars. Found the old dam though. Then I went to what I believe was the right area adjacent to the correct lake. I found a very slender cellar hole in the area I...

The Palace Amusements building in Asbury Park was demolished today. I remember a few years ago the building was assessed to see if it was possible to save it, the results of which determined it was. They held a meeting yesterday to decide if the Palace Amusements building should be spared the...

I was out exploring today and went from Ong's Hat toward Mary Ann Forge which I had never looked for before. I got a little sidetracked but met with success I hadn't expected. While looking at an old map I was approached (via a green pick-up with the window coming down) by two men and two...

Just wanted to display a word of caution for some Ebay people. I have been seeing listings for books by a particular seller who never lists the book title or author. The seller lists a book with pics and references that entice people into thinking it's some kind of rare book. If you inquire...

The topic I started regarding responsible exploring and not taking artifacts was interestingly deleted from discussion by the admin, I suppose. Any reason why? Seemed a little bit weird.

I am definately noticing that the little pieces of history are disappearing at many spots this web page discusses. The message board for this site is WAY too powerful a resource. I love it, but I feel it is harming what we love due to the few who are abusing it. Sorry, but can't help my feelings...

Several months ago I gained access to this site from the owner of the property containing at least a portion of the Friendship Village located west of former Sooy Place. The building in the pic was told to me to be the former head engineer's house/station for the mill in this location. It seems...
