I made my first successful post this evening and it includes a pic of what my coworker found behind his house in a farmer's field. He thinks they are Indian artifacts like axe heads or something. I know absolutely nothing abouth this sort of thing. I can provide better pics if needed. Each one does have a slight edge to it.

Thanks JP. I may be taking my sons out looking this weekend on my friends land and some farmer's land to look for some artifacts - we've never been before. If we go and find anything I'll post it next week. My friend says he has hundreds of artifiacts, mostly points, and some axe heads, spears, and knives. If he can dig them out of storage I'll take some pictures.
Well, we went after it rained cats and dogs, and it turns out it was a bit too muddy in the farmer's field. The mud stuck to the bottoms of our boots and made them feel like they each weighed about 10 lbs. We did find one interesting black triangular shaped object, but I'm not sure if it's an artifact or not. I'll take a pic and post it when I get a chance. We plan on going back when the field is a little dryer.
Some days are better than others, but It's always good to get out. I always tell people that the hunting is always good, even if the "finding" is sometimes poor. I have a pair of boots that seem to weigh ten pounds most of the time myself. I'm looking forward to seeing your pic Daryl and good luck when things dry up.
I went collecting along the Potomac River recently and saw a few other folks from the MGS club, and folks from the DVPS club. One of the guys from the mGS found a shard of pottery that they said looked like it was American Indian pottery. It was about 3" and it had a band of dots or impressions along the top edge of the piece. One of the guys said that was from a rope or something. It was a dark brown colored piece. I would never had picked it up - now I'll be on the lookout. We have a club meeting this weekend, if I see the piece there I'll take some pics and post them.
