Hi: The ore is found in a large number of small bog deposites . I can walk
about a mile from my house and stand on a deposit that would not have been
a days charge for a furnace. They may never have gathered a supply large
enough to fire before the attack. The fuel and flux are easy , the ore may
have been scattered deposites with only a few tons in each.
I live on the Potomac river about 200 miles from Jamestown Va.
