It's rained a good bit here in Alabama over the last two months. Enough so that the river level is staying way too high and the fields and creeks are all flooded. There have been a few opportunities to look, but it seems like the trips are getting fewer and farther between. The rain is, in turn, a good thing. Once that water does go down there'll be plenty to look at for sure. Regardless, I'm getting tired of looking the same spots. I think it's time to take a trip up to Ohio where my father's side of the family lives. They've got a natural creek in their backyard and the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers besides. One day I plan on heading out west to get a couple good hunting trips in, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.  Anyone ever get tired of their local spots and yearn for something new and fresh?

Hello...My name is Michael Norris. I'm fairly new to relic collecting, but have no lack of interest on the subject. I've been hunting for about a year now, and like to think I've built a decent collection so far. Either way, I'm happy finding anything that pertains to our history.
I'll look for artifacts just about anywhere that looks likely (with permission, of course). Rivers and creeks are probably my favorite, though, with kayak being the preferred form of transportation. Being outdoors, on calm waters, connecting with the things that make up the world is a great feeling. That's one reason I love living in the beautiful state of Alabama. There's nothing like floating down the river with an eagle soaring above you.

My interest in the archaeological world increases every day, in every way. Regardless of how many artifacts I find throughout my indeavors, I'll always appreciate what I do find and especially what I learn. That's why I love websites such as this...it gives everyone a chance to share knowledge and beautiful pieces of history.

My name is John Miller, I am a artifact hunter from Southern Michigan. I have  a small but interesting artifact collection of arrowheads and Indian relics found in and around my hometown of White Pigeon Mi. Est. in 1826 White Pigeon is the oldest Incorporated Village in Michigan, and the site of the states first U.S. land office opened in 1837. White Pigeon is translated from "Wahbememe"   a heroic Potawatomi Chief, who saved the first settlers here from attack by hostile Blackhawk Indians.

        Wahbememe, who was a signer of the "1795 Treaty of Greenville" proclaimed himself "Friend to the pioneers who settled this area" and offered them his protection.                           While attending a gathering of chiefs near Detroit approx. 1830.  Wahabememe learned of a Blackhawk plot to attack his friends at the settlement. He was quoted as saying"To betray my village of white people is to betray myself"  He then set out on foot, running nonstop 150 miles across the state without stopping for food or rest. Upon his arrival at the settlement, known as Millville at the time. Wahabememe delivered his warning of impending danger and then collapsed from exhaustion and died. The grateful settlers renamed their village White Pigeon, in his honor
