While out metal detecting around some old foundations,My brother in law and his wife took me and my
honey to see this Fascinating spring.
Its hard to describe,but is like a perfectly round hole of water,that the spring comes in directly at the bottom.
I guessed it to be 12 to 15 feet deep. The water hole is full of small rocks and gravels,and with the spring coming in at the very bottom,it continuously emits fountains of rocks coming up,and then falling back down,just the same as water does in a fountain. But the rocks are all under water,I had never seen anything like this in my lifetime.
Sometimes there were up to three fountains of rocks and gravel coming up,making spectacular displays.
These rocks were polished,as highly as any man made polished rocks i had ever seen.
and for this to be done by nature is absolutely amazing.
A lady there calls this,indian jewelry spring,she also told us once when she was there,an indian spirit-Ghost
took her to a cave,that is about 75 yards from the spring,and taught her how to throw a knife.
Kind of odd i know,but a neat story.
This spring was about twenty yards across.
These are a few rocks from it.I wonder how long it takes them to be polished this highly?
There were literaly thousands of them.I didn't find any old coins,but enjoyed the rocks at the spring!
