Stone Searching
- Thread starter Teegate
- Start date
All,
Jessica is sick so I headed out on my own early this morning to stone search on Spring Hill (Spring Hill Tract aka Bass River North). There are quite a few stones in that area and very tough to get to. After looking for three of them I was exhausted. And I almost got hung up in my car with all of the wheels off the ground.
This one is semi large.
Just laying on the ground.
I noticed this at the intersection of Stevenson Road and Long Causeway Road.
Unfortunately, what was in it is not good.

Guy, please send the coordinates on those to the DEP hazardous waste hotline. I found a 35 gallon drum of oil along the railroad by whiting and they took care of it. This link shows phone numbers, but if you just contact them via email they'll get it done.

All,
Yesterday, Al (manumuskin) and I stone searched in the area of the bombing range and Oswego Road, among other places. Quite a few of the stones are no longer there but we did find a few we looked for. In one of the areas we were in Samuel Richards had owned property. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any stones from this.
In any event, here are a few we did find.
An interesting area along the way.
I think this one fell over and broke into pieces.
We had learned there was an old cabin that had burned years ago in the area we were in, and we were surprised to find it high on the top of a high spot in a very nice location. If the trees were shorter the view would have been quite nice.
The burned timber and solid remains.
There was a really heavy and huge pipe that they had used for their heating needs. This cabin must have been quite large.

Sophie behaved very well that day,unfortunately today she really showed her @$$.Took her to Atlantic county park and let her loose on the boardwalk.we had to chase her a full mile to catch her.She didn't stop till the boardwalk forked and she didn't know which way to go.she waited for us there for probably 15 minutes for us to catch her.She spent the rest of the walk on a leash which was pure torture for me as well trying to hold the strong beast back.I told her she wants to act like an animal I'll treat her like one.
I think my next assault will be the Merrygold area,Think your up for that?

Thats what we were talking about when in that second photo
Bob would really love this spot!
Lot of Inkberry with Leatherleaf growing small down under it and a lot of a yellow grass that I don't know the name of.I'm sure in summer there will be some nice goodies under all this.
BY the way what would favor a bog coming up Inkberry as opposed to Leatherleaf?Perhpas not quite as wet?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that inkberry is the pioneer here, and when the leatherleaf gets established, it will take over as it spreads vegetatively via stolons. It will form a colony and choke everything else out.
The Burlington County Health Department called me today about the asbestos. The state forwards it to the person who called me and they did not send the photo's or GPS cords to him. All he got was the street intersection I gave them. I guess he was calling to confirm it was legitimate and maybe to listen to what I had to say and decide if it was me who put it there so they would remove it. Who knows! In any event, they were sending someone out to remove it.

I learned of this stone a few weeks back and have looked for it on at least two occasions. Yesterday, after looking again with Al and Jessica, I arrived home and as soon as I came in the door I got a phone call giving me a more accurate description on it's location. So this morning at 6AM I picked up my mom and we headed out to see if i could find it. We arrived at sunrise and so the photo's are slightly dark.
The stone is the Francis French stone and you can see the FF on it. It looks like a date of 1991 or 1997 on it but it would have to be 1891 or 7 or 1791 or 7. Then again it may be something else completely.
