Hello everyone,
I am a lifelong resident of the mid-state and have always resided within 5 miles of my original home place. I am 58 yrs. old, been married to the same women for forty of those, have 2 adult children and 3 grandkids. I am technologically challenged, don't have cell phone and don't see or hear as well as I once did. The hearing loss I attribute to that 40 years with the same women. I own two small acreage tracts, one on which I reside, the other I purchased last year and has a 100 year old farm house on it. I had known both the previous owners since childhood. I have had trouble with theft and trespassing on both parcels, not from relic hunters, but kids, crack-heads and deer hunters. Therefore, I cannot be as specific as I would like to be about my exact location. I will say, I am south of Macon on the opposite side of the Ocmulgee from Sherman's March. No battles around here.
I have always been interested in history, especially Southern History, and my ancestors on both my mother and fathers sides honorably fought in the War of Northern Aggression as well as WWII. I also know a good deal about the local history having known many of the landowners in our area.
Metal detecting is somewhat of an unknown around here, at least among people I know. My wife gave me my Sharpshooter as a gift several years ago. I played around with it some, but up till a few months ago all I had found was a 1945 silver quarter. I was thrilled. My son and his best friend from childhood,(from here on out I'll refer to them as Rooter2 and Rooter3 respectively), borrowed my Sharpshooter last fall to play around with. While they did not find anything significant, they were intrigued enough they decided to purchase units of their own. Rooter2 got a Teknetics T2 and Rooter3 a Garrett AC Pro. They received both their units just before Christmas and I am amazed at some of the things we have dug. I have figured out one thing, I need to upgrade to another detector. Me going out with my detector with these boys is like me going to a professional bass tournament with a cane pole. I usually just dig their targets for them, but still have a blast. The items I will be posting are an accumulation of artifacts dug by the three of us since December. 99% came off my property, the rest off Rooter2's. He lives about 400 yards down the road. Some of the items, we know what they are, some we do not and I look forward to input from those of you who my be interested. Researching these items is how I found this website. I,(really my daughter) will try to get these posted sometimes this weekend. If you look at my profile, you will see that I joined Feb. 25. I did not want to post until I had my "avatar" posted and she came by this afternoon and did it for me. Remember what I said about being technologically challenged? Please bear with me.
Enough about me, Have a great weekend.
By the way, my "avatar" was taken by Rooter2 in the same field where many of these artifacts were found.
