Nova Treasure, Hill Billy, and Buckleboy Hunt

BuckleBoy · Aug 21, 2009

Hey all,

Nova Treasure was kind enough to invite Hill Billy and I to come hunt with him, and let me tell you we had a blast. Started out with a little privy pinpointing and some detecting in the yard of Nova's 170 year old house. Then he got us all permission to hunt a place where there was an old house site or two right by a creek. We found some old coins and some Native American relics just laying there in the plowed-up dirt. We also found some abalone or some sort of shells there (there are no animals like this living in Kentucky creeks anymore, for sure!). We wondered if the shells were used as some sort of tool by the American Indians in the area long ago. The variety of coins was wonderful, as well as the variety of artifacts eyeballed in the field. I got a nice notched point and what looks like the base of a paleo.

HB cleaned up on the coins as usual, and even got a nice CW bullet and a broken musket sling hook. Thanks again to Nova Treasure for such a great trip. It was a real pleasure to hunt with such a great person, and I'm sure we'll detect again soon.

Best Wishes,

Unfortunately, probing for the privy at Nova's place was not a success. But a great day was had by all.
Getting out and swinging the detector was a blast and a little hot. Thanks nova for the great day of hunting with you. Hopefully there will be more to come soon. Here are some of my finds. The rosette looking piece and the pocketwatch are in my truck still.
