My Artifact Field

[River Rat]

Google map location of my Indian artifact field. Satellite photo taken some time last summer...if you find the river on the right side of the page & the brownish colored square next to the pond, that's my field. Currently that is planted over, I have a new field on the north side of the pond. Disked 1st time Sat, Mar 30th. Was using the turning disk til a blade came off. Rained Sunday & Tues...I'll post what I found so far. Got to run the row maker, disk again, then run harrows over it & wait for another rain. From what I found so far, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a productive field.

Thanks for the look
I'm looking forward to seeing your finds.
I know the other field turned out some great finds. Real nice material too..... time to throw some more artifacts on the grill!

I'm not worried...our property is posted. To get to this field, one would have to pass in front of my house, go through 2 gates to get to the field. If the owner don't catch em, the gator will or the bull. Besides that, the cattle don't think too highly of strangers stalking through their field.

I like it when they plow but hate finding all of the broken pieces. Seems like all the big pieces are broken and only the smaller ones have a chance to make it. Good luck on your hunt. I hope you find some great ones, rock

The last pic sure fooled me when it was wet. It's a piece of a cypress knee.

Cows will get you before you land. I know what they did when a hot air balloon tried to land. Even worst when someone lost put a helicopter down. Beware my friend, beware.

River I just saw this post. It looks like it will be a great spot. And it is close as well. I am kinda glad I do not live to close to some of my spots I would be worthless. Hope that you find a lot there and post everything.It looks like a great area. You ever get over by that river any?

 

[GatorBoy]

I'd be in it!

To sneak into that field i would just dress up in a cow suit and hope the bull didnt find me too attractive lol

Looks like it gonna be pretty productive after a few rains. Good luck!

Lucky, as with everyone else finding a place to hunt is the toughest part of this addiction. I walk a lot of creeks, but it's like playing the lottery. To find and have access to a site or land that is known to have artifacts on it is awesome. Every spot I would like to hunt is private property, and it's difficult to track down the owners to get permission.

U should try going to the closest houses it's what I do and the worst that can happen is they tell u no u can't hunt or no we have no clue who's property it is . All the places I have found I've just went to the closest farm house and asked. And so far no ones said no.

Just an update, field has been disked but still too much grass. After yesterday's rains, I ventured out today...several scrapers, 1 broken point. Will take pics later.

Lost helicopter and hot air balloon. I guess those cows are freaked out. Not every day a chopper comes down, ask for directions, and off they go!lol nice story. I bet you'll never forget those.
