CommentsThis was a rusty pipe sticking up out of the ground. Chauncy Easterling says water used to get pumped out of the old number 6 mine here. The metals screening on this showed that it had a lot of different stuff in it, which makes me think 208 conductivity is too low, and I wonder if the LaMotte had the little "X10" thing and I didn't notice. So I'm not sure I trust this conductivity data.
