    Is this Native American???

    I was walking a creek that runs through my colonial era town and found this on a gravel bed. It stuck out like a sore thumb, it was very white in the water, I thought it was an egg at first. It's completely smooth and round, none of the rocks in my area look like this, and none of the rocks in...

    new spot, new technique

    I took a quick walk today down the creek that runs thru the old town center. There are about 15 colonial houses within a quarter mile radius, and I'm guessing almost all of them threw their trash into this river, and a few houses actually border the river as well. I've walked this before this...

    found another dump, on a roll

    I decided to take a hike through the woods tonight after dinner. I grabbed my backpack and headed off right out of my own driveway for a change. A quarter mile up the road is a 1700's farmhouse, so I backdoored the property line by walking near the golf course next door. I found a few old...

    nice surprise!

    A couple weeks ago I was scouting a river near some old houses the next town over. I walked down the river and found old pilings from a long gone bridge and old foundation remnants of what looks like an old mill. About 50 yards down I spotted something on the bank. It was the bottom of a...

    REALLY COOL DIFFERENT DIG!!!

    I went on a really cool dig today in one of the oldest parts of new england. I dug a tidal flat that was a colonial shipyard, underneath a bridge from the 1840's (recently rebuilt). The silt is 3 feet of THICK MUCK, and it has preserved everything that was dropped there. The flat is...

    THE HOLY GRAIL OF DUMPS

    I found the best dump of my life this weekend. I decided to explore a creek across from a few colonial homes in my town. There was a 50 foot sloping hill leading to the creek, and it was all overgrown with prickers and vines. I walked the entire river, and right when i was ready to leave i...
