First Creek Find

[catherine1]

Went to my cabin farm to do some digging Saturday. Soon as I arrived my deer farmer showed up, and had shot a deer at my other farm about a mile away. So I told him I would help him haul it out of the woods, as it was rough terrain off the hillside. We stopped to take a rest at the bottom of the hill in the creek bed. And while he was washing the blood off his hands, I found this, right next to his foot.....the base is snapped, but I will be checking that creek in the future.

Cabin farm, deer farmer, I am curious as to what those are? Nice find.

Nice Save! See, you never know where you will find those artifacts.

I can definitely help with one and probably the other...

"Deer farmer" - (noun) a hunter who harvests deer from time to time

"Cabin farm" - (noun) likely a farm with a woodlot and a cabin on it. There are several of those around where I live.

Kindest regards,

If there's one, there's more!

I hope to find more artifacts in this creek. There are Hopewell mounds nearby, and it empties into the Ohio, which is about a half mile away. Deer farmers pay to hunt on your farm, and plant deer plots.

Good thing you gave him a hand. You were rewarded nicely.

Did you know Charlie West? In the 50s he dredged Ohio Brush Creek at the mouth. He found some treasures doing that.

Sunny Side.......yes I have been to Charlies house, and seen his amazing artifact collection. Crazy. Nothing but the real deal from back in the day. I have a cabin/farm along Brush Creek, about 2 miles from the river from where you are talking about. However I own another farm about a mile down the river on the hillside, over looking the river that I found this knife in the creek. Looks like a Adena. I do a lot of digging for artifacts at my farms. And have found a few. The best artifacts have come out of middens, and camp areas. I prefer bone artifacts. Rocks help me find them, so its all good. Digging artifacts from the ground is hard work........so don't try it. But I did find a pipe this year, and that will keep you digging another hole. Artifacts in the dig area, when you think like a Indian.
