CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 5:31 pm An old granite quarry in Maine from the 1800's, yet donated to the City by the owners in 1897. I searched away from the trails near natural large boulders, embedded into Mother Earth. It was a mere 3 inches under. It's pretty toasty and though I had to wash it a bit, I finally got a date! A 1920 Lincoln Wheat cent! Edited by CJ18850 05/08/2018 6:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 8:36 pm Thank you everyone! It was a nice first, old coin find! Would love a beautiful Morgan dollar or other the next time. The mosquitoes were very unforgiving. Report this Post to the Staff

CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 10:15 pm Thank you T-BOP! The soil rich in water run off, salt and tree roots. Here's a little history of this quarry. The granite was used to build the Brooklyn Bridge and..... (drum roll).... The Lincoln Memorial! Report this Post to the Staff
CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 10:19 pm Thanks fistfulladirt! Lots of stagnant waterways. Crossed a couple with mosquito eggs just laying on top. Too many swarms for me. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 08:58 am I always chuckle when I see folks complaining about "bad bugs"... you should try working in the Northern Boreal Forest, or above treeline in the Arctic barren lands.... Deet only keeps them off your face (one of my PhD students) Typical bugs, above treeline (this is myself and a professor from the University of Waterloo) Sometimes, it can get pretty comical with graduate students who grew up as "city kids"... this girl wore her helmet all the time, even when not on the ATV, and even in 25C+ temperatures (I can't imagine sweating in that thing!!)

CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 06:51 am I'm sure SPP! Though I had no skeeto or tick spray on me. A few bites later... I survived! Lol Report this Post to the Staff
