Here is a little explanation from a Senco Industries on penny nails: The penny number is simply the price of 120 nails of a given length in historic England. Though the exact timing and circumstances are lost to history, what started as simple, standard pricing for various lengths of hand-forged nails became a naming convention that would last for more than 500 years and counting. On the low end, 1-inch nails were sold for 2 pence per 120 nails. That’s how 2-penny or 2d came to describe nails that are 1 inch in length. On the high end, six-inch nails were sold for about 60 pence per 120 nails, which is why 60-penny or 60d nails refer to 6-inch nails today. From 2d to 16d nails, the penny size increases by one to two for every ¼-inch of length added to the nail. For 20d nails and longer, the penny size increases by 10 per ½-inch of length. Here is a handy chart for reference - if you’re new to penny sizes, you can print it out and place it on your toolbox. 2d = 1” 10d = 3” 3d = 1-¼” 12d = 3-¼” 4d = 1-½” 16d = 3-½” 5d = 1-¾” 20d = 4” 6d = 2” 30d = 4-½” 7d = 2-14” 40d = 5” 8d = 2-½” 50d = 5-½” 9d = 2-¾” 60d = 6” ************************************************* The really old nails are wrought iron - you can actually see the grain of the iron as it runs in the forged shank. The wrought nails could go well up into the early to mid 1800's but could easily date to pre 1700s. Large forged wrought iron drift pins have been found in Acadian dyke logs. In colonial times nails were so valuable abandoned homes were often burned to recover the nails. Some nails were bent on the end or clinched to hold batten boards or wide floorboards. Nice to see Irvin's videos being featured on the musuem page.
Good job Irvin. Could be a moraine or end moraine. A shovel test would tell. A moraine has larger material pushed along by the glacier. An esker shows sand and fine gravel in a shovel test - the material was sorted as the weight of the ice created a stream underneath and the gravels separated as the glacier receded. Forestry workers will often locate roads near eskers that can be seen on aerial photographs. The eskers provide gravels for road building.
Thank You.
Looks like a great time nothing better then being in nature stay safe gentlemen
Stuff like this makes me want a metal detector so bad.... been lookn at those anfibio ones, roun $800 dollar mark. The cheaper ones jus always seemed to miss alot... hit me back if you feel yeah or ney on this subject...

Thanks 😄
I enjoy hearing these stories. Thanks for taking the time to recount them.
Our pleasure!
Interesting tale
We are so fortunate to have folks like this still around to tell their stories and bring our history alive. Well done!
Thank you!
Very interesting. The Church map shows a school at Stillwater, the mill by the stream and Adams mill on the shore of the big lake.
Thanks for Viewing!
The boiler looks very similar to the one back to the Thompson Bog. That was a sawmill that blew up from over pressure in the boiler. Some of those rods flew hundreds of feet in the air and came down like spears. It is surprising this one wasn't salvalged to be used at another mill in a different location.
Yes, the pressure valves didn't work as well back in the day! Boom! :)
Thanks for all the hard work you and John are doing Irvin - keep at it!
Very well done
Thank you very much!
The sound is very poor
The McHeffeys and Hunters were on the same ship and they maintained a closeness for generations after arriving here.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your interest and support!
