Old mill or old cellar hole?

[John (Ma)]

I have located a site of an old Paper mill that was built in the late 1881 and burned down in 1950. Do you think this a good place to check out, or should I concentrate on old cellar holes?

There are more coins buried underground than in circulation today. True.

Good stuff is everywhere, just more concentrated where more people go.

I would sure go check it out. You'll know in an hour whether to keep at it or go back to the cellar.

Can you tell us the name of the mill?
I would take a good look at the place and decide where would be a good cool place for the workers to eat their lunch. Should be a nice spot next to the river or canal where they sat. Then I would try to find the loading dock area and the path to the privy...

Ok. thanks. I could not give you a name of the mill, as I do not even know myself. I was on my On/Off road motorcycle on a trail and found a large old foundation in the woods. I have been trying to research this in several different ways, that has been taking time, and I have just figured out that it was a paper mill, due to past history reports, word of mouth and some landmarks that I have narrowed down. So my information is limited to just knowing that it was a paper mill and the above information.
