My pleasure, Jeff. We should get together for a paddle up that way sometime.

You that man, Jerseyman. Thanks!

Could some of them be moorings?

I will have to return to the site and then get back to you. I don't recall them being very thick. 6x8 sounds close though. Good question. Although I do not have intimate knowledge of the rivers up that way, I believe that tidal influence is minimal above the meeting of the Wrangel Brook...

Score another for the archaeology arena!

Sprues?

LARGO, I can't claim the ballast idea as my own, but it does make sense. The fact that it is concentrated in one small spot might suggest that it is not ballast, but, then again, it was probably uncommon to use trash as ballast. But yes, one man's trash is another's treasure. Which is why...

Your's must have been quite a show, George. Yes, I recall the Leek's display. I certainly miss it.

Jerseyman, do you know of any old maps that depict Torrey's railroad?

In the spirit of American Unity, why don't we find some middle ground? Waterford Works.

Here are some more pieces of the puzzle: It now seems that I was dead wrong. I did not find an anchor(s). I seems that I did in fact find a 250 year old pile of trash. They most likely represent poorly cast iron products, including a number of stove legs. Perhaps they were used as ballast?

That is quite a compliment coming from you, Jerseyman! What about the two timbers I found just below the site of Randolph's dam? There was one timber in the sand spanning the width of the stream. Perpendicular to it, there is another timber along the north bank. They form a right angle...

Ancient Anchor? Found this in my backyard today: These are four of the more intact pieces I found. They are rather brittle due to perhaps centuries of corrosion in the water. Perhaps Budd Wilson will help me figure this out.

http://gallery.njpinebarrens.com/dat...s_Sheet_13.jpg Jerseyman, the location you list as the possible site of the mill dam appears to correspond to the embankments that are depicted here: http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.9516286386518&lng=-74.21428799629211&z=17&type=nj1930&gpx=...

Steve, once we got to the junction of the two streams, we walked up the Davenport for about 10 minutes. We passed a few retirment houses on the way. Lots and lots of fallen trees on that stretch. We then waqlked back to our canoe and paddled up the Wrangel for only about 5 minutes or so until...

I knew Jerseyman would come through with some valuable information! The junction of the two streams has certainly shifted upstream, either through natural means or by the work of man. Below marks the present point of confluence...

Don't forget about the Country Cupboard!:mrgreen:

Can they legally prevent them?

Today, Yvonne (infinite sameness) and I launched a canoe on Tom's River just upstream from Route 9. Paddling upstream, we passed under the Parkway bridge above which the river forks where its two major tributaries join forces. Our plan was to paddle up the lesser tributary, the Wrangel (or...

That was my first guess. there was a wicked storm brewing early in the morning. I'm going for a paddle now to snap some shots of the site.
