[timekiller]

Just a few of the things I've picked up over the last few months while metal detecting.Not really looking for but running across.My dad is the indian artifact head of the family.Has one of the biggest collections I know of around here.Has done it all his life.Maybe one day Im over there I'll see if he would mine posting some pictures.If he don't mine that will make a post for this site for sure!It would take a few pics. for that.Mean while here are these.

No greg,It's all river bank finds.If I can get the old man to let me post what we've picked up over the years together.You would see not many has gotten by our eyes as far as they go.It really is a very large collection.And the way things are now in days I couldn't blame him if he didn't want to post.But I think he might not mine.I'll ask him next time I see him.Guarantee a WoW factor if he does.
Thanks,Timekiller!

Sorry do not mean to be a bother but in my limited studies of ancient maps I have also found that the indians had the history of the site,water,flood zones and kept the area clear with fire. It was natural for early settlers to inhabit these sites that were time proven. Have you ever studied the ancient river maps before hydo power and impoundments? I studied them when tornament fishing for old channels and structures and learned about shallow bends with oxygeniation for shell fish producing very ancient sites. Nice finds and do not let me wear you out with the useless research of mine. Hope you and your Dad get in many many more great hunts.

Nice finds and do not let me wear you out with the useless research of mine.Can't do that I don't think.Love the stuff to much.I do have some map material I think it goes back as far as 1850.Shows home sites and all.Not sure what you are talking of sounds interresting.

Your maps should work. I am assuming your river has been dammed up. If not does not matter. Maybe some of your good spots are in the bends on the inside. The outside of bends seemed to be washed and swept more and are deep in debri. It was easy to gather food and cross in the bends. Thats all. I just try to study a site and then cold call it and see what it holds. Seems to hold true when looking for a place to live/camp.
Thanks for taking the time to post and reply.
