It was found about 18 inches deep under old tree roots next to a 1700s mill. However before this mill was built and almost right next to it was a log cabin built probably in the late 1600s. My sundial does not have the date but is complete, slightly smaller then the one in the article being only 4 inches square. The gnomon (which is also lead) is intact but was bent down when found. My father in law straightened it for me. It is just amazing to me that these two finds are so much the same. I don't know if the sundial website would be interested in seeing this one being from the states, although there is every chance that being so early it may have been brought over from England.
