Cool, last week I found a bladeless knife without a handle!

I actually spied a couple pieces of 19th century broken green glass and redware, but don't want that stuff. Was looking for Indian artifacts.

Pretty foggy at your hunting site.

 

[smokeythecat]

Yearh - foggy - that's right - that's why I didn't find anything- yeah - that's right...that's a piece of paper in real life. Well, off to get cleaned up (real hot out) and see if I can get a groundhog photo.

That looks like a lot of my hunts!

Me too!

I rarely get skunked, even at the beach. There have to be hundreds and hundreds of coins at this site, all pre Civil War, but detecting is not allowed. I am very picky where I dig because it hurts to dig these days.

Hi smokeythecat! You are funny! I don’t think I have ever returned empty handed...just loaded with trash...not always goodies. Wishing you pain-free digging!

 

[against the wind]

I have that exact same picture of some of my hunts,,
Congratulations

 

[smokeythecat]

Now don't get me wrong. I did eyeball some bottle caps, cigaretts butts and such, just didn't pick up any.

 

[Trezurehunter]

I have also found those before ! I could use that same picture.

 

[smokeythecat]

That's all right. I have a new spot at a Confederate sympathizers house. History says all the kids joined the Confederate army and all survived (I think). I was there early today, real early, got a few things. Going back Site won't be there long (construction.)

I love you smoky LOL

 

[smokeythecat]

You have to have the sites. The BEST ones aren't on any map.

You have to have the sites. The BEST ones aren't on any map.

The best debate is with a historian. "Well I never read that there was any such place/building/home/homestead there in that spot."

"What makes you think there was one there?"

Square nails/rose head nails/buttons/coinage dating from that to that, glass, brick, bones (animal/dinner/soup), rubble stone.

They still don't believe it, because they have never read in any reference book/map.

So typical it seems.

 

[smokeythecat]

And they lose out...

Skunkycat? First COVID, then Murder Hornets now Smokey gets skunked......the end is near!!!

 

[smokeythecat]

That was yesterday. Today was Confederate day! And the end is near! I could only go about 2 hours if that.

So how old is this ancient spot?
