Default Grist Mills ?

Here in my town along the Caney River once stood a grist mill that operated in the 1890s But the problem is the weeds are taller than I am around an old house and what is left of the grist mill that stands now on private property and the owner told me NO detecting is gonna be done here !!!!! SO .... I will bet there is all kinds of goodies to be found there BUT , I will never know !!! HAPPY HUNTING !!! KENNETH

Cool alot..

..of those folks would have bartered or traded for the mills' service. it was a common practice to give the mill operator a percentage of the grounded corn/wheat etc as payment.
