[Rockhounds] Bog Iron in the Northeast

[pmodreski]

Wow, Ron, you're really going to try to build & operate a working iron furnace? That's quite a job, isn't it?  (Even for small scale & just one batch.)They had a lot of family-run iron furnaces in China during the Mao era, I understand (never worked out very practically).Pete

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.
