Looks like an old millstone.Found this in the middle of nowhere while digging for leeks last monday, might be a cool place to go with a metal detector. I shamelessly brought it home.

Very interesting. I'm surprised it didn't render the nails too brittle.
If anything it would make them softer.![]()
I was suddenly hit by an overwhelming smell. The only thing I can compare it to would be if you took a hundred stinky dogs that hadn't had a bath in years, got them all damp, and put them in one cramped room. I could taste it in the air. I walked by the deadfall area, paying very close attention to it. After summiting Mokelumne Peak, I returned the same way. When I got to the deadfall, there was no trace of any odor.
You probibly came across a bear and didn't see it. they can stink something awfull.
Whoa...and, WOW!
