In Memory Of Americus ~ TNet Member

[Tnmountains]

Americus Jay Cliett passed away January 21, 2017. Americus was gracious and kind in sharing his artifacts from South Georgia. He was a fantastic hunter and kind person. His posts were always full of beautiful colored S.Georgia native American artifacts. He will be missed but we were blessed to have him share his journeys and a small portion of his very large life.
Thank you Americus for taking us along with you and may you rest in peace, you will be missed!

Here are some of Jays finds.

Why is it when there's so much I'd like to say, I can't find the right words but I will try. Americus, miss him so much, miss his posts he shared some the most beautiful artifacts I have ever seen. He once told me he has never found any pottery and we wondered about it due to the large amount of points he found. It was always so exciting to me to see he had a new post about finding some new ones and all so beautiful. I saw in another post that he had found 5000 and I can't even fathom that many being found, so incredible and he was an incredible person, so kind and never a negative word on here that I can remember. One of those angels on earth we hear about and hope to meet someday, yes I think he was. It has been a great honor to be part of Americus' online artifact collecting family, I will never forget him and will always miss him. RIP Jay, it has been a pleasure sir.

Wow, I didn't know Dr. Cliett was Americus! He TRIED to teach me college algebra at Georgia Southwestern University back in the 90's, unsuccessfully I'm afraid. He was a super nice guy, and pretty funny, always telling us to save a particular equation for our "math toolbox". I wish I had known of his hobby back when I was in college. Rest in Peace, Dr. Cliett. We'll sure miss seeing those great artifacts.
