Hi Guys, I was once active on this site under a different email address/username...but I have since lost my account info. Too much info out on the interwebs to keep track of it all (especially with sporadic interests)...
Which reminds me...I am primarily a gold hunter....
But I became interested in finding artifacts and went hiking in a new area behind my apartment complex. Theres about 100 acres of woodlands behind my place, complete with several streams, swamps, steep ravines/hills etc. I dont know a thing about artifacts but this rock stood out like a sore thumb. This stone was significantly larger than any of the gravels....both placer and bench deposits. Not only was it much larger, it was found on flat spot elevated above one of the streams. I'm not sure if I am projecting my hopes on to this rock...but could it be a hammerstone? I don't know much about the native populations- but I know they existed. I'm less than 10 miles from Washington DC. Thanks guys!
