You are Colonially doing it, Pete. :headbang:

It is just a matter of Colonial time when you will dig a cob or a spectacle buckle. :headbang:

The woodland pottery is several thousand years old. It is a cord wrapped paddle type typical of ancient americans. Not that glazed crock type of early settlers.
You need to keep your eyes peeled for artifacts often they used the same sites. It is and always will be location,location location.
Nice finds sir!
