The things you see on back roads

That is kick ass Jim, my dad is into old cars. He doesn't have any from the 30's era but I'm sure he knows a few guys that do. When I get home I'll show it to him and see if it sparks any interest. If not I would think that you could get some money from it at some swap meet.

Looks like you should of picked that out of the woods a long time ago, Jim! Should still be worth a few bucks though I would think.

Handle can't be too far off. Check it out mechanically and send it off to be blasted and painted. Put $100 bucks in it and I bet you could at a minimum double it.

Hey Bro ( CJD ) you still have the photos of those logs sticking out of the embankment by the river that looks like a old fort?

I'll have to look around. Tx!

"Many years ago..."

I was walking the property we had along the Ashtabula river. In most places the river bed of shale rock sits between 3 and 6 foot below the earthen bank or shoreline. At one point where the river makes a slight bend, on the outside bank was 6 feet of rock and earth. Trees the diameter of 5 gallon buckets grow directly above. Sticking out of the bank, exposed from the spring thaw were half a dozen large logs with points cut by man on the ends. They looked like a old fort wall knocked over.

Baker's map of 1856 show's a structure was established up stream. Apparently, at some point between then and 1876, (Nunan Map) a 100 year storm happened. It would appear that a mass of stone and rock washed down the river flood plane and left a 6 foot layer. Trees took root and began to grow. I don't know what it really is but the area does not look like it was a bridge.

Pardon the pictures. They were taken with a "floppy disk" camera.
