a nail ? could this be a lost nail ? the history of nails goes back thousands of years, and with this discovery we add another piece to the mystery of lot 5 and the possible camp of the knights of columbus . . . it was here in this same lot that a button was found only 53 years ago , raising more questions about summer camp at the YMCA (next week we search the shoreline for more fishing weights)
