huge cooking pot

[hmmm]

for some reason the pot was smashed and placed under a huge bolder, i'll take a camera out there and photo it, the big question is , who did it.
any one know how long iron will last.
i took this piece to try get it dated,I will bring it back to the site. the pot would be about 3 feet wide and 3 feet high, it has no legs but has the spot for the handle.
funny thing about Canadian heritage laws, this will never be a heritage object, a heritage object needs to be older then 1849. that means in 100 years the pot would be about 150 years old and still not a heritage object.. if it where 150 years old now, it would be a heritage object. but in 100 years from now , it will have to be 250 years old, to be a heritage object. 8)

No I don't think so either BUT, they did supply alot of Hiram's and Canadian Club to those from the states that had cash.

The problem is that some of your pictures and finds seem legitimately interesting. Your approach to recovery, and your interpretation of the materials is destroying the best part- the truth and the history!

Is any of this in danger from development? Perhaps the only danger to it is misguided and overzealous individuals tearing into it for the bones of Drake.

I understand the futility of my opinion on this matter. I also understand the importance of hope and dreams to a person. I do not understand anticipating the fulfillment of some Twilight Zone treasure prophecy based upon fragments of cast iron pot in the woods.

Fascinating!

The problem is, the history of this area is being hidden.
I would think the important thing would be " finding the bones of drake" before they are re buried as a native american.

Well You will think I'm nuts ,
But a lot of a certain kind of treasure hunters will tell you to photograph it, GPS it, and get a compass bearing on the main pieces.
Check for other metal pieces and do the exact same thing with them.
All this Before you move anything on the location.

They could be KGC cache locators.
Move them without the exact info and a treasure can become a lost treasure.

See,
Told you... you think I'm nuts.

LOL

Durring the American Civil war...
the headquarters of the Confederate secret service as well as the KGC was in Canada.
There are two lines of thought ...
1, That these were two seperate entities.
2, They were both one and the same entity.
The most common belief is that they were all one group and conducted business on that basis.

To get some of the best information about the Knights of the Golden Circle ...
Google search Brigadeer General Albert Pike.

VERY INTERISTING, the town i live in was named after an Indian agent, in 1862 he was on his way to go check on the miners living at the island , he never came back , he was murdered by the local chief, the chief bragged about it, he was arrested but never charged. . many events happened around this time, lost gold bullets mine,
the bc gold rush http://canadianeconomy.gc.ca/english/economy/1858_1865_Cariboo_Gold_Rush.html
