The city has been dredging part of an old creek bed here lately. I have found a decent bottle or two, most broken, and unfortunately zero coins so far. The pic shows some of the what not's that have come under the coil. This is the most massive iron bearing that I've ever dug. There is a one in a million fantasy about it being a cannon ball, but there was zero action around here. So, could this be off a train ?, from years back. Steam trains were here in the late 1880's. Or possibly some type of ballast for an old steam dredge that helped install a nearby dam 100 years ago ? The dam was built to create a large pool to service the steam engines with water. What puzzles me is the size and weight of this thing, it's the biggest I've seen and very heavy.
