[QUOTE="tree_ghost, post: 5714360, member: 14521"] So my youngest son has developed a very healthy appetite for Indian relics which I think is awesome. When I was about his age we lived in Ga on a lake. When it drained in the winter time you could walk out and find points and pottery all over. However that’s really the extent of my relic hunting experience...so I’m pretty much a novice. Fast forward to today…I secured a spot to relic hunt with my son this weekend. It is a very secluded property in Woodbury with a decent size natural spring and a large collapsed cave, that was able to be entered 40 years ago, but has since collapsed. The spring and the cave are within 20 yards of each other and the landowner tells me this place hasn’t been relic hunted since he owned it. What do you think is the most effective approach to take is to a place like this? Just prospect the creek? Dig test holes and sift it? Try to locate higher flat ground in close proximity and dig there? I’m also nervous that we will throw away a tool that we don’t recognize. What resources do you recommend for referencing any relics? Thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
