I found this ball mason while wading today. I was actually there to fish more than wade, but I look around still. I found this jar just upstream from the bridge I entered from. I have found Ball jars and lids, but never a jar w/ lid and some wire bail attached. The area where I found it was muddy/sandy. I think there must be a dump very close to where the jar was. If you go about 1/8 mile upstream it becomes very rocky. I doubt the jar would have survived a tumble through the rocks. I took a before/after pic, cleaned up pretty nice w/ soap, water, and a scotch brite. Reads on the side pat'd July 14 1908.
