Got A Nice Relic In Lake Today


Recommended Posts

This is from the lumbering days in Michigan. It would be hammered into the end of a log and logs were floated in lakes and rivers. This one must have broke when they were hammering on it. I was in Pickerel Lake detecting. http://mauriceeby.org/My_Books_files/Great Lumbering Era 4.pdf

When I was a kid this was a boys camp. Now it's a county camp ground. I was detecting in the water where the beach is. That's a native Brook trout stream running thru it.

I'll have to watch for those here in Oregon.  We are also on a major river (Siuslaw) that was also used for floating logs to port.  GaryC/Oregon Coast
