Where have I been? What Have I Done? Look what I found!!! :)

Hello Friends!!!

First.... I hope that this post finds all of you well and finding lots of points. I will be reviewing old posts after this one BUT.... first I have some great news that I am excited to share with all of you. I just had shoulder surgery and am home for a week and will use this time to catch up. Here is the news:

After watching, reading and studying our current political situation, I have come to the sad conclusion that this country is close to a potential meltdown. This has cause me concern for the family as I do not want to be in or near a city population when and if that happens. So... we have spend a great deal of time looking for a remote (Bug Out) property that we can use as a weekend getaway in good times and a source of safety in bad. Long story short... we just purchased a beautiful mountain cabin, high in the Shenandoah Mountains.. It sits on 12 acres (much of which is actually a beautifully forested mountain), has a spring fed well, electricity, is loaded with black bear, deer, etc. And....... is smack dab in the middle of an area that was heavy with Indian activity for thousands of years. There are so many points on the property that I found three while walking the grounds contemplating the purchase!!!! We have spent every weekend there, decorating and supplying the cabin (two bedrooms, a kitchen with bar, living room with fireplace, beautiful deck, ) but I still have managed to find some beauties. Below are my recent finds, excluding the many heart breakers. I will soon do a detailed search of the creek on the property and am excited about the possibilities. The closest neighbor told me that he has found over thirty arrowheads and more than a few axes on and around my new property!!! How cool is that?

Anyway...... sorry to sound like I am boasting and please know that I am not. I am just excited to share with you folks who will understand what a dream it is to now have my own property where I can actually dig and recover items without fear of breaking any rules!!!

Thanks for listening and again... I hope you are all well.

Thanks brother.... You really should Google "Land in Virginia or West Virginia"... they are practically giving it away now. I wish you the best of luck.

Hey Airborne! Glad to hear everything is going well. Sounds like you are on a "rock hunters" paradise! I look forward to seeing what you pull out of there. You're off to a good start already! I know what you mean about the issues facing all of us in this country. I've been stocking up on ammo as well. The weird thing is most of the people who used to give me grief about owning assault rifles (in addition to hunting rifles, shotguns, etc.) are now asking me where they could buy one. You couldn't even buy .22 rounds in Lexington earlier this year. People were buying up ammo as soon as it came off the trucks. Hopefully things will turn around soon in this country.

I took my black lab swimming for the first time recently. I was out in the lake and got her to swim out to me. She then swam back to the bank and looked back at me with this expression on her face like she was thinking "Wow! This is really cool!" She jumped right back in again.

Good luck man!

Hello brother!! Thank you for the comments. That is awesome about your lab going swimming!! You have to get some pics of that up.... I would love to see them. As for the guns and ammo..... I hear you loud and clear! Ammo has been a nightmare to get and its one reason that I am loading my own now. i am just finishing a batch of 2,000 .223 rounds. I have been telling folks who are stuck in the city or suburbia, to look at the internet land sales sites for property in West Virginia and Virginia if they are near there. they are giving the stuff away these days. I will post a link to a video that I posted on youtube where you can see the place. In the meantime.... stay safe!

Good for you Airborne! Looks like you may very well be living a "head hunters" dream. I mean to have artifacts on your own property, it don't get any better than that, congrats

P.S. I really envy you...LOL
