I can show you the foundation of the Grist Mill at Fries Mill.At leamings Mill it was in the clearing on the east side of the crik,all I"ve found over there is a few bricks.

Stiltzkin I think your middle hand drawn photo may be the back side of the saw mill.I also think I see the same tree to the right that is to the left when taking the pic from across the crik???

Yes the beach is gone,swallered up by brush and trees.The creek looks to be shallower then it used to be.I can see bottom when the suns right from the bridge.That used to be over our heads back then.They used to dive off the board that was left of the board in the pic.I still couldnt see bottom...

I do remember a very big holly tree in the clearing and isn't that a small hollyjust left of the house? hard to tell but it might be the giant holly of today.

i just checked LIDAR and the cellar hole is so shallow I cant see it.It should be on west edge of Berrymans Swamp

Hold on I was ass backwards when I said that was Claudies cabin.Thats west of the Kilns.I thought it was east across the swamp.I will have to check that hole out.I have never been there.

I don't know how to link to Boyds Maps anymore but here is a screenshot with the coords on it

I never thought to check LIDAR for the hole!

That is the cellar hole to Claudie Finches old cabin! Thanks.I tried recently to find it again after maybe twenty years and could not.You just relocated it for me.He built a very nice cabin there in the 80's then let a friend of his tear it down for the logs.I was pissed.It was a very nice cabin.

I know about the four there but there are five in a group in the woods west of Union lake.Three real close together and two more about fifty yards away.One of those is the nicest I have yet seen and no where near a swamp. The ditch you see running through the circle and into the barrel hole is...

Charcoal mounds are just that,Mounds of charcoal where the trees were burnt to make charcoal and they left a little bit at bottom so as not to get dirt in it ut a kiln is a shallow pit dug just deep enough to get enough dirt to line the bottom of the pile to keep drafts out of the pile because...

You are right ,most kilns are alone but I know one area where five are clustered close together and sevaral spots where two or three within sight of each other. I don't know if they would use the same spot repeatedly but why not? You already have your clay layer down and barrel hole dug.I would...

Ben have made a gpx file of more then 200 of these kilns.I have been to maybe forty of them.You can see them on the lidar images which is where we first noticed them.The first ones i went out and found are between Menantico creek and an old rd that heads toward Tavern Rock but runs into the...

Dragon I just came from the areas south of Menantico.The area Berwyn Kirby used to own but is now nature conservancy.Found a survey ribbon out there on a tree three days old.They had the date and the number of chains to the next station written on the ribbon but no bearing.There is no property...

Bob your memory is impeccable.Yes I remember the spot and the pic you took of me standing there,I believe I had my black lab Sophie with,gone three years now:-(

Millville and Vineland were straight up barrens at one time.You can still see it in the woods that are left in some areas

I"m heading out to Evansville Indiana for it.My grandson starts college in Evansville this year and we will pick him up and probably watch it along the Wabash some where.Watched the one seven years ago in Tennessee

Ben, yes that sand rd that heads south does end up At Barth rd but it comes out in someones back yard.To get to the rd you have to slip around their house to the left or right.There is another rd that parallels it and joins it that would start in the bottom right corner of that photo and...

Bob we were at this site on the PBX hike I made.I took everyone to the Fries Mill bridge and sawmill site

Here is one 66C10 sent me of Fries Mill Sawmill.This is where I learned to swim and damn near drowned right in front of the camera.You can make out the wheel that drives the saw which would be setting in the raceway
