Very interesting spot

[Froggie]

I walked about a mile into these wood along a river.
There is lots of history in this area, both colonial and CW (Virginia)
I didn't find anything, my hand shovel broke right away and I am not sure I am allowed to dig there anyway.

I found 8 spots similar to this

Found this cool rock

A closer look, I wonder who R.S. was, Gonna have to do some research now.

The only Important person with the initials RS that keeps coming up is Richard Stratford who was one of the original founders of Jamestown Virginia in 1603. Records show he lived here.
