I was just reading Twitch's post on Newby advice a good post( http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,315448.0.html ) and was reading how he hunted long and hard in New Mexico's deserts before he ever landed his first point and it got me to reminiscing about how I got started and what I can remember of my first hunt. And what a fun journey with many miles and wonderful people it has been ever since.
Thought it might be fun if we all told of our first hunt or find and how we all got started if you remember..... OK. So here is my first hunt ever.
Had an Uncle that was pretty adventurous. He was known as the cave man of the south and had explored and mapped many of the caves in the south east and was with the original group when they discovered Ruby Falls. Anyways one Saturday when I was maybe 6 or 7 or younger he took us to this field that had been plowed. All my cousins and Aunts and Uncles went and we had a family picnic with the sacrificial watermelon and looked for arrowheads. I remember that we got into the guys private garden and must have been tearing things up as he came out of the house with a shot gun. My Uncle always carried a 38 police special in his belt but I do not remember him pulling it. He was an old school Bondsman and had made Bond for this old farmer for something or another. I remember my Uncle giving him a bottle of Whiskey or Shine and some cash and we went back to destroying the garden looking for arrowheads. I know we picked up everything asking "is this one"?
The field we hunted is long gone and we knew it as the Nick-a-Jack field. When my Mom passed away and we were having to go through everything I found a box I had never seen and opened it up and the inside were arrowheads and marbles and she had wrote Nick-A-jack. I have kept it intact with a pair of dice that ended up in there ??
So I guess maybe that is what she and Dad found . I still have that box today
Here is the box and those finds from that day.
Feel free to tell of your first hunt or finds and how you started.
Happy Huntin
