Will Walker, a 5th grade student at Findlay Elementary School, discovered this large railroad spike during the 5th grade field trip on September 7, 2018, at the Ravenscroft Mine and Walking Trail. The spike was added to the collection at the DeRossett Railroad Section House Museum where it will on permanent display. It is possible that visitors to the historic sites on Bon Air Mountain occasionally find historic artifacts. The Bon Air Mountain Historical Society would appreciate if any historic artifacts are discovered that they would be presented to the museum by contacting the staff through the “Contact Us” section of the website.
