Ok, I'm at a loss on this one. As I was walking by I thought it looked like someone set down a 5 gallon bucket. I turned around and the only prints were my own. Why would this be spinning. I'm thinking its from underground but I didn't see much evidence of that either.

I bet I could have hired someone here to go up and do it for half of that:D

You are correct there are more people that share his far left position. There are many that fall on the far right as well. Not everyone can be pleased. The MAP in its original draft did not account for the majority of the people that fall in the middle.

Ok last picture of this stone. I promise:D This is the top side that to me looks like it's very worn from either wind or water. I still like the Historic Stucco theory:)

Thanks Spung Man This explains a lot to me. I would definitely say it looks more like a bottom sole-cast. It also looks like the opposite side is eroded pretty well. I didn't take a picture of that side yet. But in the cross section it almost looks like an airplane wing. Like moving water was...

I was wondering the possibility of that as well. Or is it just that was simply the location of the mill.

I agree. I can't say that this can't be formed naturally but to me it just seems unlikely. In an area that stone is a rare commodity I find it hard to believe that this wasn't used to build up a foundation. Instead it was dumped to help build up a dam. Between this and the lines in it just seems...

I'm thinking I'm getting closer to the origin of this stone. The straight line still doesn't seem natural. I placed the straight edge on it just as a reference. I also pointed to the other line that if continued on would be parallel. The other stones I found there were relitvely brittle. My...

Well. I think we all agree that this is stone and has nothing to do with the iron making process. The lines in this particular piece is what was throwing me off. I still feel like the lines were created by people some how. It doesn't look like the were cut in. Could it possibly be the location...

No I this was found downstream on the other side of the pond. Basically where the trail race seems to start. The picture I took looking upstream at the bridge is basically where we found it and there was much more there.

The same thing happened to me. I confirmed through the phone and she was very helpful.

You're right. Nature always surprises me. A straight line that comes down at a 90 degree angle to me screams man made and if that second line was intact a few inches more it would all but confirm it to me. But either way my 9 year old daughter has been googling slag and agrees it's not slag but...

Thanks for all the input. It did seem more like stone than true slag. But the straight line seems more man made. Also the line seems to be coming down at a 90 degree angle, again not natural, to me at least. And if you look there is another line starting but is broken off. It only travels an...

I never thought of that. I even thought it could be part of a casting too.

I wasn't sure what else to call it. It's got a ton of sand in it. What would you consider it? It is definitely beyond my knowledge.

While to me it looks more like stone, to me it seems like it's definitely man made some how. Whether it's a form of slag something else I'm not sure.

My daughter kept a piece for school. I'll get a picture of it tonight.

They are raised about an 1/8th inch almost as if it cooled and settled in between bricks

I was thinking it had a lot of sand in it to be slag. I assume ironstone is also a byproduct from the manufacturing process. I picked up a piece that definitely had straight parallel lines that surely weren't natural. To me it almost looks like sand was added as it cooled to make it easier to...

Welcome to the forums and thanks for thinking I'm out there only some of the time;) I have to admit I sometimes get worked up from the PPA's propaganda depicting anyone who opposes the map as peple that just want to be able to drive anywhere. There are a lot of people here that simply want fair...
