FWIW, I am friends with a few former and current members on FB, The Peaguy, SG, Morthaur, Parts, Renaeden, CBC, Bodi, Adam, EBM, Carlotta, Wandrew and Scrap and I keep in contact with Lucifer and Dunc on Gmail.   8)  Even if Dunc is here now!   :green:

That's interesting.  :orly:

Rock hound is the one who got me to sign up on Facebook. If it weren't for him, I probably still wouldn't be on it.

Glad I could make it a good experience for you!  I appreciate your honesty on it as well!    8)

Any places to collect iron ore near you,  I have looked a bit around here in Ct but most places are either private property or state parks where collecting is not permitted.  Part of the problem is the quantity I am after,  a minimum of 50 pounds.  I need it for a project I have wanted to do for awhile now, a Link to  smelt iron the way they did in colonial days.

Let me look up any places where bog iron can be collected.  Because that would be the only source I know of in this area.  I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I haven't been able to find anything locally.  I'll keep looking a bit further out from where I live!

Thanks, further is fine anything up your way is a special trip anyway another hour don't matter much.  I read up more on the CTDEP web site and they will not even give you a special permit to collect unless your a school or such.   :plus:

I know that the earliest iron works in New England was located near salt marshes/bogs.  I believe there is even an old preserved foundry on or around Bath Iron Works in Maine.  There are areas up in the White Mountains which must have a fair amount of iron, since many of the streams and the stream beds have a rusty or oxidized look to them.  When I was a kid I used to imagine that these were metal rocks because of the rust patina on them.

Just a whim for the holidaze.   I'll switch it back to rock hound soon!
