loggers lunch spot

[kaolinwasher]

as i am grid searching this woods, i am now to an old tree that was cut down , the stump is still there , and covered with moss and badly , crumbling and the upper part of the tree is laying down with about a 12 ft section missing , that must have been what they took , but the rest is full of moss & rotting I think the loggers stopped to eat lunch on the fallen log because i have now recovered two very rusted sardine cans, and one rusty tobacco can and a broken spear point, from a fish spear, i sumize they may have done some spear fishing in the nearby Rum river and cooked some fish over their fire, but no coin spill yet or ring,

I like searching in the woods. Our loggers must have been better paid than yours .

I wonder what kind of fish they caught and cooked. I bet it tasted good

Nice going on the spear point.

lol Hatpin may just be right Gunnar. I think with the amount of spent casings and bullets there must of been a shoot-out between parties. Maybe a couple of spear jobs too lol. Hang in there bro. One of these days you are going to be speechless from the find you make.

the farmers & hunter were very poor in this part of the state, thats for sure, The Rum River has Walleye , bass, sunfish, northerns, suckers, carp, and its banks are home to muskrats , beavers, Mink, & river Otters, who feed on the abundant supply of Cray fish, & river Clams, the Rum runs for 140. miles from lake milacs to the Mississipi at anoka MN

Cool stuff!

I had a spear my Great grandpa forged that had barbs like that...it was very hard to get a fish off of it, had to find a forked tree to jam them in and pull it out...somebody stole it right out of my garage a few years ago, had to have been a logger!...I dont know why they didnt take something else, just my chainsaw and that spear, so I think you did indeed find the signs of a logger!.
