To me it's the thrill of the hunt. I was a big time head hunter back in Texas. Now that I have moved here I haven't found a place to explore. But if anyone has a place and wants some pointers, I would be happy to tag along and offer my limited expertise.

Fur if you can find one in the hills of North Perry County I'll pay you. Tennessee Valley is rich. Like I said you have to look where they are not where you think they might be because it's woods. Prolly the finest cache of artifacts in the Southeast is under Lake Guntersville along the original river channel . I'd suspect you're right. I think a good bit of that stuff was salvaged, or at least I've heard that, but they probably didn't get 5% of it. Chicken house pads have unearthed and ruined a bunch of artifacts too.

I don't know where anybody would find a turned field to look in anymore.

I'd figure there were very , very few hunters before the G'ville dam backed the water up. Hunting became popular well after the lake filled. I know some really high end stuff has been found, including graves , over the years when the water is drawn down just around the banks of the lake. Would be mind boggling what is on out there under the lake considering the location and size.

Some of their finds are of the chart incredible. And of course it was illegal to bring that stuff up to the surface and haul it home but that's what they did and I understand the mindset to do so.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

We camped at a random place on the S. side of Wheeler one night. We picked up buckets of broken pottery that had washed out of the banks of the river. It was amazing at the amount.

Used to find a bunch in Limestone county just looking around fishing on Elk River. We hand a pond and found a lot of fossils in the dirt from where the pond was dug. I guess that is what they were. Rocks that looked like a bunch of pennies stacked up sorta. Always thought that it was the spine of some kind of dinisaur. Friend of mine's daddy found a bunch but he spent a lot of time looking too. Best one I ever found was when I was building a fort in the woods behind the house when I was about 7. I have no idea where it is now.

I used to hunt a place in Dallas County that had a spot where we always parked our trucks because it was footbtraffic only past that point per club rules. The spot was up on a ridge that has a creek off both sides. I hunted that club for 15 years and it seems like every time it rained, all you had to do was look down and you’d find one or two in that spot. All I can figure is it was a camp site or something because this spot was about 30 yards in diameter and it just didn't make any sense to find so many in such a small spot.

I love hunting arrowheads more than anything I do. I love finding the small bird points as they are my favorites. Back in the days of plowing, my aunt had one of the best Paleo sites in North Alabama on her property. Daddy would go see her a couple of times a month and I would walk to the bottom field to look for arrowheads. I found a lot of very desireables points in today's market. Been offered good money for a lot of the points I have also, but they are locked in a safe, only to be handed down to my kids.
I found my first perfect fluted Clovis in 1983 in Colbert County. I had two men with me as witnesses when I found it. I have been offered good money for it several times, and turned down a Browning BAR for it the year I found it. I now have three Clovis points that are perfect that I picked up while hunting them in a plowed field. I have several Daltons, and two Cumberlands that also came from the Bottom Field. This field is in pines now and I have thought about buying it, clearing it, and plowing it just to get the points there.
I have a lot of bone tools, awls, etc I have found on a creek bottom. I have found half of a fish hook, but have never found a full one. Found beads, everything you can think of over the years including a cannonball that Skinny helped identify for me. I love hunting these and always pause to think about the individual who made it years ago and how they lived.
I can't stand a thief.

ive hunted in Alabama for about 30 years and over the years I have found 8 arrow heads in and around Fayette county. Just walking in woods and Ive found a couple in fields we plowed for planting. Some worth a little money but something to have and pass on. A lot of the forest as we see them now were different then, A lot of open land and big hard woods.
