Hello,
This Picture of the 150 yr plus Oak growing back into the ground is for real, Legend has it from some of the old timers living nearby "passed down from generations before" this large oak on it's own started to grow back into the ground over a hundred fifty years ago.
I was raised nearby and was always baffled how this large oak forgot about gravity and using the Sun's energy to guide it upward instead of back into the soil, Anyone ever come across something like this?
Our oldest coins have come out of an nearby area, Indians once attacked this first nearby white man settlement "1849-50" killing 14 pioneers skinning the last man alive after tying him to a tree while the Indians lost 9 during the attack. Only two white men escaped the attack.
I'll enclose a picture of all the coins and other artifacts on a later thread. The large cent is either one of the three "1793-94-95" Liberty Cap type Large cents due to the coin's massive extra weight. Each of my buddies "Denny and Tim" including myself scored our oldest coins in our career from this particular site.
1793-94-95" Liberty Cap type,
1816 II Peru reales,
1835 1/2 Bust dime,
1851 One Franc,
1865 Indian penny,
Large assortment of relics, Musket and pistol balls,
With Permission from the property owners we are currently working with our local Historic Society to donate all of the finds including all the coins to our local County museum. Finally, our community as well as the owners of the property will be able to know more about what took place on this famous first white man settlement and can view the finds at our local County museum. In addition we have correctly located the first old cabin which was the first county seat, the saloon/hotel and an older house, We also mapped out the old Fremont trail on the property which was used as the old 49er Gold rush trail as well.
Almost about to complete the display and will post a picture of the finds later within a month and a follow-up thread of the complete story, It's been an exciting two months for us.
All of this is possible because the Moore family "owners of the property" shared the same vision we have and for trusting and allowing us to search the property, All coins and artifacts along with the Story of this famous settlement will be in the museum to be shared with our community.
Thanks for sharing your moments reading this thread,
