Hi everyone, Did a little hunting over the weekend with my younger brother. I wanted to go and check some woods were I thought maybe some other old homes may be. We walked them with no luck but I knew at the end of the road there was a old abandoned house.
At the end of the road we decided to hit it for awhile. Lance found 2 silver quarters. I got 5 wheat's there a old key a neat little charm for a chain and a few other things. We didn't hunt there for more than 1.5 hrs. Sight was fairly large to.
I think in the back of the house over to the left there may have been a early settlers home there. Alot of old stones piled up around the place. There was a open area that had a few big pine tree's with a well also. This house was from the early 1900's I would say. I think there was a older home on the site though.
I'll have to detect it more to see if my theory stands. We concentrated on the house that was still standing in it's yard. As soon as we got there though Lance found a old pocket watch by the well in the woods. Good sign that something was in that spot also. I saw some stones just under the dirt also.
We got out sunday down to a old park. I should have went back to the house we hit the day before. I didn't clearly think it out the night before. Also that day as I was cleaning out my pouch I got stung by a bee in the finger. They sometimes live in the dirt or in a artifact. Must have been in a clump and as I dug in he got me. No big deal it more in less scared me for a second than anything. Never felt pain digging into my pouch before.
But the best part was I was digging a hole and found my first arrowhead. I was so happy about it I could have cared less what else was in the hole. To tell you the truth I don't know if I even recovered the target. It was better than silver to me. I have always wanted to go and look for them. It's hard enough to persue one hobby more in less try multiple one's.
It's a nice looking point. I don't know how old but I would say 500 to 1000 yrs old. I know it's not much to a farmer or others who find them alot but I was really excited about it. Like any first you come across. After 100,000 holes I finally accidentally found one.
Thanks for looking everyone. Can't wait for the weather to get nice again.
