Wolff, my digging pal had me and RedGinger up last spring for a dig,....we were able to dig a couple of pontiled meds....I used to love digging up that way,..Lot's of pontential for great Lockport glass, and lots of good age....Did you have good luck digging there (Lockport?) I also remember a guy that had a "honor" system antique bottle table set up on the Millersport Highway,...he always had a lot of Batavia bottles. some pretty decent. Put your money in the box,...take your bottle. Gotta love it.[:)] My buddy on the canal had a phone co. "ditchwitch" go across the front of his lawn...it kicked out three Oak Orchard Acid Springs bottles.

KATE...fantastic pictures !! [:)]
I enjoy messing around old mills myself. I have some on my site as well as a page of millstones...all in my locality. You'd be surprised at the uses a millstone has been put to: graveyard "monuments", for one.

Thanks, whiskeyman... I tend to take a lot of pictures of cemeteries, too... I've never seen a millstone in one around here!
I refuse to tell my dad that. He may decide that's a good idea. [8|]
I just looked at your website and will have to take some more time to look at that. Very interesting! Thanks!
Actually - I see there's an ironworks link on there, too, so I'm going to send your website to my dad to look at. Hope he doesn't notice the gravestones.

Joe - not to worry - I know how one comment leads to another thought and things go off topic. I'm a chronic offender and I'll apologize here to everybody I've done that to. [&:]

Thanks for the info on the other mill. I love the painting and the view from above.

This is a beautiful mill in MA and across the road a bit is an Old Wayside Inn and the Martha Mary Chapel. They have been used in several movies. The waiting list to get married there is years. They go from the Chapel to the mill for pics by horse and carriage. The inn is so old there is no dancing allowed there.These pics don't do it justice. It's a must see if you come up this way.
