Hi Ann , some of these Mill Balls are referenced as coming from the Mojave Desert in the SFI thread ; these then must have been artifacts from Spanish Colonial days , no ?

When did the use of Mill Balls cease in iron production ?

I wonder how much Iron production went on in the Mojave back then ?
