I have never seen anything like this old pipes under ground in the old road exploring New England

Out in the woods walking this old road I found some pretty interesting things. This dirt road runs along the river and on the other side is a big river so it was a trawled location a long time ago. Exploring in New England means you can always find old places to look at as we see here today. I found the cellar hole foundations from the old woolen mill and what was left of the stacked rock bridge that came across the river. The walking further out where the road is worn away like six feet deep there was large exposed cast iron pipe. Pretty big in diameter and would have been 6 feet under the road. With all the places I have explored and walked I have never seen anything like that.

The iron pipe carried water from a point upstream, usually at a shallow dam to a mill downstream but away from the stream. This allowed the mill to survive a serious flood and they would only need to replace a shallow dam. Roaring Brook leading into Scranton, PA has many such pipes remaining from the late 1800s Just the pipes and parts of the foundations are left. Find the dam that supplied the water to the pipe, and the mill that used it on the other end. Thanks for the hike .

That river water was sweeping over the rocks and that was loud, the river is wide there which was great for a mill. The pipe has me puzzled too Charlie, time, money and effort were put in but now its obsolete and just something to wonder at. The carpet of leaves has wonderful colours, the road seemed pretty clear of them and looks as though the topsoil has eroded away over the years. An interesting hike and I wonder if the cellar holes you found wi be worth detecting at some point. Thank you for sharing your time with us sweetheart, that was a lovely place to explore with some surprises along the way. Good luck and happy hunting and hiking my friend God bless you and NinJen love and hugs Mary-Ellen LFOD UK

I know exactly where that is. Spent a lot of time exploring those trails. A few 1000 feet before you reach the power lines to the north you will find a series of ponds all interconnected with locks. By the trail head you can still see the foundation to the pump house.

I was working on a bridge in NE CT in the 1990s. We found strange pipes in the abutments and running under the road. Call before you dig had not known about them. It turned out that they were from the national defense missile system in the 1950s. Good Luck, Rick

Hello Charlie. Interesting idea about pipe supplying water to mill in case of drought. Here’s a different idea. Maybe not for water but to get rid of sewage from the wool mill. I came across a similar pipe while out exploring in upstate New York. Middle of no where there’s this pipe about the diameter of yours running through the woods. Going from somewhere to somewhere. Turns out it was a pipe to deposit sewage off into the woods from a since burned down resort. Pipe was miles away from where resort used to stand. Back then people neither knew nor cared about polluting environment. Just a thought. Keep up good work Charlie. Your videos mean a lot. Nancy

Wow it is amazing to see that there is still something still standing from the old mill. The pipe in the ground is interesting. Love to see you metal detect where the old mill stands never know what you might find. I know there is a lot of trash around. It breaks my heart to see Humans Destroying and discarding trash in the woods like that. But It Was Still A Wonderful Hike And History Lesson. Maybe you can find old pictures of that mill. Thanks for the adventure Charlie, Loved Every Minute Of IT !!!!

That makes a lot of sense. With the Bell thingy, I wonder if someone in the early to mid 70's was looking to build something there and then had to bail after the energy crisis and economic downturns in the later 70s. Both fit the timeframe.

I wonder if the water line was abandoned after it was put in.It's odd how there's no sign of a dam there.Back then most mills were water powered,so they'd need to control the water level.

Charlie, thanks for another fascinating video. I do wish that we in the South could have as much public land to explore... unfortunately, our history is grimmer than New Hampshire's, and almost all the land in my area is privately owned, usually by people who are inclined to shoot first and be questioned later. Your videos add meaning to LFOD. Cheers and please, keep em coming. Edit/PS - That Bell thing you found almost certainly was put there in the 1970s. There may have been lines there before then, but it's pretty clear that thing hasn't been checked since Reagan was president.

@macofalltrades6396 2 жыл бұрын

Dennis, there's plenty of guys who do more than one thing, myself included. Not Thursday isn't just about relics and digging; it's about who we are, where we are, and who and what came before. Detecting is just one tool. Rob Finds Treasure does some metal detecting, but also coin roll hunts and smithing. Swinging Donna does a lot of detecting, but not exclusively. Growing up, there was what I always thought was a dry creek bed in the woods behind my house. It wasn't until years later that one of the neighbor kids unearthed a civil-war era bullet and we realized that it was actually a battle trench from one of the skirmishes around Atlanta. Not Thursday is the kind of channel where you can see and learn about that kind of thing, and maybe figure out how to see those things in your own walk through life. You do you, that's fine, but attacking Charlie isn't a very classy or mature thing to do, and from the comments, you should see you're not the standard here. And your grammar could use some work, as well. Please try to do better. Peace out.
