Hello RON, PETTY, BRIAN & BILL, and any others. ..thanks for all the input.
I have found a few arrowheads in the past while prowling abandoned , newly graded lots in the downtown area.
I also found a couple of other items: will take some pics and post here later today, as I need some input on them.[]

okay, 1st a bit of history about where I found the following items. Place called Stoney Point here in Bristol. Present home was built in 1884. Before it there was a log home and a slave quarters.. Owner gave me permission to search/dig for bottles but stated if I found any money, it was hers...LOL. She was a nice lady.

I searched around a bit...found a small area of broken pontilled bottles...no depth.
Scratched around a bit more and dug a few test holes for a privy...found a modern concrete- lined one...no bottles....no other privys or a cistern.

Saw this mound of dirt and rocks on one corner of the field...figured it was from where they plowed and dug up rocks and piled them out of the way. Thought perhaps there may be a bottle or two in it, so I began digging the mound.


Here's the 1st item I found.
