This dial-up is killing me. It's taking forever to get this dig loaded up. Well anyway, underneath the first layer of logs and bricks and soda and beer, and tons of sand I start finding these rusty blobs. I got and idea what they are.

Cool post, Logue!! Don't know much about any of this but I'm enjoying!!

A couple of good whacks and all that rust falls off leaving a rather skinny railroad spike. Eventually there would not be any base metal left. Instant artifact. Looks like something in one of them museums.

The hole is getting deeper, but I don't believe that I'm anywhere near the bottom yet. This thing is under all that sand and weighs a ton. I've heard that towns used hollowed logs as water lines. Anyway, ain't no snake in this one.

Further down in the sand this thing comes up. Want to take a gander to what it is?

A HUB FOR A WAGON WHEEL OR CART . ?

Yep, it's a wagon wheel hub. Wouldn't you just want to believe that Ol' Sherman broke a wagon wheel crossing the creek going into town.

Seems like Ol Johnny Reb done beat Uncle Billy to the bridges and trestles.
