Relic Hunting
when my boys were growing up 8 and 15 we spent two years gold hunting in an area around Dalonegha, GA. yes we always found a little gold but my best find was an 1800 hand forged mining pick.

I was using a fisher gold bug and when I swung over the pick it sounded like a buried volkswagen. This is one of my finest finds. In addition my older son found a 400 year old fully intact alt alt point.

The memories of our hunts are more valuable than the gold we found. 1800minerspick.JPG

For sure, a nice old relic.Congrats
 

Cool old 'Pick' , I've always liked the Idea of Gold hunting & panning , tried in Acworth in my teens (even made a sluice ) only scored flakes but it was fun.

Now I don't have the patience or the Back for it.

That 'Point' sounds awesome.
