Good going on the relics. How much reasearch have you done on this site? Looks like there just might be a lot more there for you to take.

IFOUND THIS SITE BY ACCIDENT 10 YRS AGO. I WAS LOOKING FOR GA. FORT PERIOD 1792-1806 I SAW A CLEARE CUT AND WALKED IT, BUT NO CHINA OR GLASS. THEN RETURNING TO THE BOAT I SPOTTED A PIPE STEM, SO I GOT MY MACHINE AND STARTED FINDING 50 CAL ROUND BALLS. I THOUGHT THIS STRANGE CAUSE EVERY OTHER SITE AROUND THERE PRODUCED 69-74 CAL. THEN I FOUND A TINKLER OR BANGLE I NEW THIS SITE WAS INDIAN. I DID MY RESEARCH AFTER THE FACT AND FOUND IT A TRADING VILLIAGE FIRST RECORDED 1540s THEN AGAIN MENTIONED 1775 AS ABANDONED. I ONLY HUNTED IT 3 TIMES BACK WHEN I FOUND IT 10 YRS AGO, IT GREW UP SO FAST. THEN LAST SUMMER I CHECKED IT AND SOME GROUND HAD BEEN CLEARED, JUST A SMALL AREA THOUGH, I'LL RETURN AGAIN THIS SPRING AND WE'LL SEE. OH YEA, I FOUND A BLACK GLASS ARROWHEAD THERE TOO
