I just can't believe how much history that keeps coming from this place.
Our property is undergoing a huge transformation and remodel. Upon doing a well test, one of the workers saw Indian pottery shards jewelry, points and chips etc...Well here's the cool part ,  The artifacts belong to The Woodland Indians.  Woodland Indians were the prehistoric tribe that really didn't have a name like Cherokee, Creek etc.. They were just known as the Woodland tribe. They just "dwelled" in the forest.
Friends of ours who are Archeologist's from local and other colleges have begun researching and finding really cool artifacts. I have volunteered to help as well. 
Here's more proof that Metal detectorist's and Archeologists can work together.

The Archaeologist's are looking for dark spots  in the soil representing a prehistoric post or implement.
The photo's below demonstrate this

Sooo cool! A couple of years ago-when I was an actual practicing Geologist-we had to have an archeologist with us while we were drilling near a suspected Indian mound. We didn't find anything but just the thought that there may have been ancient people living there and we might have been able to contribute to further understanding their culture was a complete thrill!Keep us posted on what they find!!!!
