Relics from yesterday.....man I'm really starting to know the sound of a harmonica reed....thought it might be one before I dug it. Check out the weird key hole escutcheon plate. Nice bronze ships spike too. Only one wheat though.

This Ross blade was found several miles from where I live. The obsidian was traced back to Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming.

I've got a first cousin living in Ponte Verde Beach. She told me I need to come detect St. Augustine beaches. I'll bet it stays crowded this time of year.

Busy day. Confronting trespassers, Clearing my name...

Would you believe, I was accused by some guy on another forum, for possesing artifacts illegaly from Gettysburg? I have the names of everyone who found those relics, and they were not on NPS property, and they had permission to detect private property surrounding the battlefield. A few relics, are from the Iva Rosensteel collection, and were found by her in the late 1800s!

The admin banned him, and said that was that. It was the most ridiculous thing he'd heard.

Oh it's bad now. Those trespassers shot up a $400 game camera, then stole it. They tore it up with an ATV and fired gunshots in the air, and sped off down the road giving us a certain gesture. They then called the sheriff on us, claiming WE were trespassing. Huh?

So, here's the kicker. We have it on film, we have evidence, we have the neighbors backing us on it, and my mom works for Fish and Wildlife. So we got the KY State Police, and Game Wardens coming by, and they have the sheriff. Should get interesting, since we were on our own property, and did nothing wrong.

RR,

Well I'm not a violent person by nature...that said I'd make dam* sure the law took the measures required to teach them a serious lesson.

Otherwise someone would pay....hopefully it doesn't come to that!
