Old Fence

[nargo]

While exploring a old stone wall I came across remains of a old fence with rusted barbed wire..any ideas how old it might be?..the post may have been made out of a tree limb?...thanks!

It looks to be around the 20s or 30s

I hate those old barbed wire fences! I'm always getting caught in hidden ones that I didn't notice. Found a pretty interesting one the other day though, with a really weird kind of barbs and no posts left, just held up by the trees that had grown around the wire.

There are collectors of old barbed wire styles, Somewhere I have a collectors book on the subject. I just couldn't take up with the subject. Glass making is more interesting.RED Matthews

I'd have my detector all over that fence line.Many things get hidden near,along and inside of rock fence lines. Friend of ours owns quite a bit of land on the Menominee river. He was hunting grouse (they call grouse partridge up here..never understood that...or rather: part ridge...pronounced as 2 diff. words) and he stopped to water a tree along an old fence line and almost stepped on 2 very old traps. Never know what you'll find.

One of my earliest finds, which was accidental, was an old animal trap in which I nearly stepped. So, I dug it out and walked off with it to the nearest trashcan. You know, we bears don't like those things.
