[Rockhounds] Bog Iron in the Northeast

[larryrush at att.net]

Well, as it happens....EBay today has a map of  Eastern Mass. showing the
locations of the mines and furnaces for bog ore in the 1600's.
Dozens of sites on the Cape....there must still be remains  (or at least
historical info. )for some of them.

Hello,


Would anyone know if there are any localities of bog iron that would be open
to collectors in the northeast United States?  Hoping that there would be
enough ore available on site to be able to smelt a generous amount of bloom
iron.


Ron
