So far we unearthed 5 pieces this past spring & summer. Some were easier than others, some required alot more patience and sweat. We have one more piece still out there, hopefully still hidden, to get out now that the traffic from deer season is over.

Thanks!! My boyfriend has been stomping around these parts all his life, while we were in this area, we actually found his papaw's old sitting chair on the side of the hill, so it runs in his blood. There are a lot of small pieces out there, by the bucket full, but of course we went for the big stuff. One area is ripe with it.
