finds from the lick...

[RockHound3]

I have a spot along the creek where I deer hunt, its about 40 yards x 25 yds wide. Its a small spot on what use to be property lines that never got turned into crop field and has never been turned. I stumbled on this spot and I have found some doozies on it,and I know there are a lot of rocks left in the dirt because test holes I have dug to 2-1/2 ft still show flint like crazy.

I could dig this spot, but I know with all the canoers and ATV riders it would get found by someone who knew what I was doing and wreck the place.

I studied for a long while about how I could nonchalantly get these rocks from the ground without drawing attention, so I started a salt lick for deer (genius I know... lol)

I have several broke and fire popped rocks from this sight, as well as a couple hundred pieces of pottery (unusual to find in my area) and half of a polished greenstone Celt. I want the other half of that Celt so bad I can taste it.

Looks like you are doing great just from the surface. So what does the slat lick do for you as in finding artifacts?

As the salt and minerals leech into the ground the deer begin to dig into the dirt to keep getting the salt leaving a hole

Sounds like a good idea. I have a spot I need to do that with. There is also groundhogs in the area I was thinking on trying to get them some food. I have heard of people spraying weed killer down before on spots they hunt. Id need a 5 gallon sprayer to get the job done.
