A "Cache" of a different sort.

[Johnny X]

I'm a diehard indian artifact hunter, i found this site and you guys got me interested in Md'ing as well.(So much that I bought a white's spectrum XLT) Anyway back to my cache story. I was up in my "Rock Field", this field has harbor'd every indian artifact that I have found which is quite alot, I was trudging around in the mud and rain when I saw 3 really nice adena blades laying on the surface of the ground. As i picked them up my curiosity took over. So i took a stick I was using as a probe and started digging around the general area. Then I saw them, one after another, with about 1/2 inch of dirt between them, and they just kept coming 13 adena's in the ground plus the 3 on top made 15 in that area. They differentiated in size as well. I had heard that the indians sometimes buried thier points but this definitely proved it to me. I kept looking around the field ( which is about 8 acres) and saw 2 more adena's on the surface about 200 yards away so i dug down there too. and found 8 more. 23 in one day. I'll never forget it. I have hit a lot of little 4 and 5 blade cache's since then and I think my adena blades number between 70 - 80 now.I have also found many axe's on this field approx (20 not to mention the ones my uncle and grandfather have found) 2 celts. 1 adz. about 300 whole arrowheads. a 5 gallon bucket of broken artifacts, 7 maize grinding bowls, and numerous pieces of broken pottery. It's my favorite place to be.

Just thought i'd share my cache story!
thanks for reading.

Sounds like a good place for a weekend archaeologist

Region 8 Sheriff Explores Link Between Meth and Arrowheads
AUGUST 23, 2005 - Posted at 7:34 a.m. CDT

"SEARCY, AR - The White County sheriff says the time-consuming and methodical task of searching for arrowheads on farmland and in river beds seems to appeal to methamphetamine addicts. Sheriff Pat Garrett says that after more than 100 search warrants, he has come to expect arrowheads, many thousands of years old, when he storms the homes of suspected meth makers."
