To the north of the pit a up rooted tree exposed lots of fragments and pieces of crystalline limestone with other minerals in the matrix. Notice the smokey quartz on top center piece. Specks of brownish pyrrhotite on the right piece. The steel bar is about 20 inches long.

This is the 15 by 15 by 10 foot pit excavated in the 1870's sunk on crystalline limestone to supply a lime kiln somewhere close by.
Close to the Limestone excavation pit, two other pit like openings were seen. One to the south 4 by 5 by 4 feet and one to the south west, which is where the magnetite was seen on a north-east exposed face.
A excavated dump pile surrounds the 15 by 15 by 10 foot pit. This is some of the material from the west side of the pit. Facing east.
