To start the day off my camera protective lens cover would not open, to many trips in the field. I have only had that thing for 10 years, I guess I got my money out of it. Anyway moved a lot of dirt and I mean a lot, first thing I found was what I thought was the best, I have never seen one of this size and polished like this, I guess you can call it a plummet/weight.View attachment 884780View attachment 884781View attachment 884786View attachment 884787This thing is perfect, the only thing wrong with it is a small ding where I hit it. I have never found one that was this big, polished and drilled. Man I was as happy as a pig in a mud hole. This find stoked me up so I went back at it, the very next scoop I found this point, I think it is a what we call a carrollton point 3000 to 4000 years old.View attachment 884793View attachment 884795Things could not get any better, but I was wrong. As I bent down to go back to work in this 3ft deep pit, I was on my knees and a clump of dirt fell off the wall with this and landed almost in my lap.View attachment 884805View attachment 884810View attachment 884818View attachment 884825View attachment 884829This is some of that green stone that folks where telling me about. I have found a celt made of some of it already. Someone said what's next silver and gold beads, well this is just has good to me. JMO these items have never been used at all and I think they where made for someone special or a special time. The disk made a few dings on this one , but what the heck I think I will keep it.:laughing7:

This a disc field, they have been busting ground and rowing up for the winter since I found the bead. There is no layers of dirt like you would find in an site that as never been touched, they use subsoilers tools that go almost 3ft deep, I never went deeper. I would wait and go hunting after they had turned the soil and it had gotten a rain(it was easy digging). The way I understood this guy it was not the bead, but that I was walking fields that are way in the back that made these guys mad. He said they hunted artifacts off their tractors and was upset that I would almost low crawl looking. What ever I did not get much sleep from this junk last night and I have been called to work today (Have a Good Day).

I remember not sleeping due to my banner stone deal. Split emotion of mad and humility. I almost had a homesick feeling. I had posted these artifacts as 100% authentic. No sooner than I posted these, I saw that they were fake. It made me feel like an ass facing the truth publicly, but it was a relief at the same time. You have permission to hunt these grounds! Stand your ground! As for us, the T-net community, we do not personally know you, nor can we judge you. You did right! In fact, I have more respect for you now. You took the high road! That is what TN Mtns told me after my bad deal. I use his words because they fit. Get those guys Rack! You can play these cats like a fiddle now. Rub some dirt on the piece the dude made, replant it, set a deer cam on the spot. It'll be funny!

Thanks for the words of encouragement, no one knows how it feels unless they have been through something like it. What I hate is the fact that someone would go that far to hamper someone from hunting in their area, just have the backbone and say something, I would have stayed out of their area. To be honest, the other day when the guy told me all that, I had to stop the Mississippi redneck urge of I already have a hole dug, don't let it go to waste, but it's not worth that. Their day will come but I am going to take my time and think this through, I try to get along with everyone ,but I am the wrong person to start a rock fight with when you live in a glass house. (Revenge is a dish best served cold) I gave my word not to say anything to their boss, because that might affect their family and that's not right, but time is on my side. When it happens Tnet will get the details of it all.
 

F$$$ them !!!!! I'd tell them that you sold them for 15000 dollars to some collector haha still fake or not great find use it to your advantage ...paybacks a *****

I would do that but that might encourage them to make more fakes and someone else might become a victim. What ever I do I want to stop them in their tracks so they never think of a fake again.
