You have a remarkable memory Tom:-).thats not the only stone I found with my knee.I triangulated a possible buried stone position once from paint blazes on trees.I dropped to one knee to start stabbing the ground with my knife to find the stone and I found it quite painfully with my knee.It was...

I intend to invent a "Stone Detector" don't know how yet but I have the idea anyway:-)

now this is cool.never checked out hampton furnace on historical aerials before.i never realized that stuff was so recent till Guy posted about the Rider Clayberger thing.I thought it was much older.in the filed there is actually the stone stepping stones to a front door left in place. Al

I have seen Cave Cabin Branch on the topo and have always wanted to explore it.Imagine a cave in south Jersey.somehow the geology just don't look right. Al

I believe it's the branch that on birds eye appears to be totally canalized now and drians the western bogs at sims place.the topo and 95 aerials show natural sections but on birds eye they all appear to be canals now. Al

Guy were there clues to guide you to the buried stone or did you just get lucky stabbing in the area? 4 ft away on your gps....how close was your accuracy?I can very seldom attain better then 16 ft accuracy on mine. Al

Bob I am on facebook,I went on at the request of Whip and thought I could look up old buddies.I have found a few or moreso they have found me.The facebook search engine sucks boukoup.I do not like it but now my wife has used it to expand her farmville properties so dumping it is out of the...

Can anyone tell me where Burnt Cabin Branch is?It should be in Sims Place or very close to it.I have found an old stream draining south into Oswego through what is now Sims Place but it is nameless on the map.There appears to be visible on modern topos and aerial sections of a natural stream...

Dude,I look like roadkill.looks like a really big truck hit me from the back and kept going.then they just rolled me up with the grass and smoked me. Alfie

Guy Love the photo.was it taken from the north or south,in other words are we looking at it from the road or from the river towards the road?Whip and I just found the remains of a concrete dam on a canal in that area i never knew existed.an impressive little structure I had passed within 10-0...

Woodjin (Jeff) might be able to help with the Redfin info.He is the fishmaster of the forum and a pickerel conessuir(sic)_ Al

Guy I bet you were doing back flips:-)Like when we found the ED 1796 stone.I can no longer do back flips but I can still moonwalk a little bit which just may uncover a stone or two and I scrape away pine needles. I had written that area off as the last time i went out there I came up empty as...

Bob can have my beer if I win but an ice tea or a can of mountain dew would be cool:-) Al

While I feel for those losing their properties I certainly don't feel it's the rest of our responsibilities to keep fighting rising sea levels for their benefit.Just like all those communities on our barrier islands.Those were never meant to be built on.They make a jetty to replenish sand and on...

Hey thanks! Thats a nice file you found there.I live right down the street from the biggest hickory in nj but I haven't been there since the late 80's.It was dead then and starting to drop limbs.It's actually on sand plant property but they never discouraged visitors.[I]t was next to an old...

Whip Is anyone at all left on the beach side strip shown in the first photo?How about anyone at all?The last time I was there there seemed to be hangers on on the left as you pulled up to the beach and then the people way off to the righ whose driveway is next to the owl tree.Is the state going...

would be nice to know the last time that area was burnt.I'd bet anything late 40;s or early 50's

Personally I'm sold on my Magellan Triton 500.It wasn't always that way.It was a nasty little beast when I first got it.A lot of unresolved issues with Vantage Point,the software that lets it communicate with the computer but all that has been fixed now.The pros are it is compatible with...

I went out yesterday to see if I could solve the mystery of the old tracks found the previous week by Whipoorbill and myself and photographed a couple days later and posted by Guy here.As previously stated there are a set of perfectly good what i presume to be truck tracks going through a...
