About This Artifact
Large spike with a mushroomed head from repeated use, recovered by Marty Lagina and Gary Drayton on Lot 32. Carmen Legge identified it as a rock stake that would have been used to anchor a ship or drag cargo ashore. He dated it to 1710 to 1740, a range that aligns with the 1746 French ship's log Doug Crowell found in 2019, which describes a deep pit being dug and treasure buried during a mission to retake Acadia.
