I Found An Old Spring! 2 Mercs!


Recommended Posts


All very nice. That is some pretty rock work on the spring. It is nice that it is in such good shape. That spring was very important long ago & saw a lot of visitors. There almost has to be an old house site associated with each of those springs. I think your "stirrup" is actually a wagon part. There should be some buttons & more old coins there too.

I'm out of likes, but great photos! I can feel the woods. 👍 Glad you walked out of there with a couple silvers, that's a great day. 🙂

Nice mercs  ! I've never seen a spring built like those.The one I have seen is a concrete "bucket" covered with a concrete slab and a chain.......one other spring was just a pipe coming out of a hill. Removed now.

:cool: like button substitute 👍

I’ve been making the steep hike up to this old spring on weekdays after work.  I haven’t found any more coins, but lots of headstamps and other relics.  This past Thursday I found an old building site.  Maybe 50 or 60 yards from the spring I noticed a corner of a stone foundation and the outline of a rectangular shape maybe 20’x20’.  Just the one corner still had stones for the foundation.  I didn’t find any non-ferrous inside the foundation and only one ferrous, a bullet, on the outside just a few feet from the foundation.  The badge was found on the other side of the spring fron where the foundation is.  Here’s some pics:
