So when we finally got home I googled Fort Griffin and found an email contact. I sent a pic of the stone slab and described the place where we found it and the circumstances. We were contacted the next day and the upshot is that later this month a rep from Fort Griffin will arrive to collect our artifact and view the photos I took on that site. There might be a connection to a supply depot for Fort Griffen near Lubbock. We hope to learn a lot from this visit and we are happy to turn our artifact over to someone who can use it. We hope we've made a contribution toward increased understanding of Texas' history. Last Fourth Of July we returned to the site and took more photos. We hoped to find more artifacts but there were none.
At least we had a chance to explore these ruins more thoroughly.
