Ok you made your point but, I am not saying the bodies are abandoned I am referring to the cemetary...you could find an abandoned house with all its contents still in it...anything else you would like to add...it's my post and thats the way I worded it...I just want to find out what I found is...this is not a site to criticize ones vocabulary if u wanna do that teach english classes somewhere, this is a site to find information on findings...thank u and have a good day 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I will have to say many cemeterys in Scott county Ar. have been totally abandoned for many years, cattle have pushed over the headstones, trees have fallen on the fences, we started last year cleaning & repairing fences on some, the briars & bushes had taken over completely.

When I hear 'abandoned' I think it's had the remains removed. When I hear 'neglected' I think it's been ignored, unkempt, overgrown - but still occupied by the dead. Maybe it's just me. I do think there should be a distinction between the two. Maybe "filled" and "empty" would be more appropriate descriptive terms? Or maybe leave "cemetery" out of the description so that the controversy is avoided? I'm leaving it at that. Bye.

Thank you silverswede for the info Am gonna get better quality cam soon and can retake pics...

I think you could be unto something there Angelo. If the site is quite some ways from a road head stones could have been crated with banding straps. As far as your photos go JaQ, They are fine as the last ones can be enlarged by clicking on the clip and opening. but it's still a tough I.D. If the activity there was before 1900 mostly it would likely be wagon hauled rather than auto truck or tractor. Thanks for Posting.

I don't have pics of the cemetary itself I meant of what I found in the cemetary, sorry for the misunderstanding, I can go back and take some pics here in a couple weeks for ya, my brother is coming in from Chicago the end of the month and i'll be sure and take a few 4 ya... in the meantime do you have any sites i could check out of your groups

I would be very interested in those cemetery photos...I have old photos of where my relatives were buried in the woods out of Huntsville and even tho "abandoned " ...not forgotten. Somebody ...somewhere will be looking for those gravesites.
I belong to several Find A Grave Groups..where we find lost graves......There are many forums where you can post those pics for people looking for lost relatives including gen-forum under the family names.

Ouch, down girl. No need to be so hostile. I'm not singling out you. You don't know the controvery that haunts (pun intended) the forum when finds are made in cemeteries. It's a touchy subject. You being new might not be aware of the history. Did I say welcome to the forum?

Welcome!

I agree with Eddie...it does look like a piece of leaf spring, from either a wagon or early auto.

That spring? Looks like it has a bolt hole in the end that is set up vertical rather than horizontal like a auto spring. Could this be a buck board seat spring? maybe?

Thank you for the welcome several years back I did come on when I was in chicago with my brother but he had his own login name...he loves this kind of stuff and got me into it several years back....
I usually dont go hunt in cemetarys for real it was a one time occasion...not that I have to explain myself, but just to clear a few waters... I am not into them we just come upon it...anyway thanks for the welcome

Hey Jacquelineur sorry that you have had to deal with the site bully but you did just fine. As for your post & pic's I think the others are right it is ether a band strap or a leaf spring. But it is old. Hope to see more of your finds. Hillbilly Bread<><

Here are some leaf spring examples. Most of them have horizontal holes in the end. The last pic has a hole like yours.
