It’s been a while...

[lukecreekwalker]

Greetings everyone. It’s been a couple life changing months since my last post. I am now officially a father with a baby boy born 10/25/18. This has truly been a life altering experience for my wife and I and I cannot wait to watch him find his first artifact. I already told her that I plan on putting flakes in the rocks in our front yard garden pebbles to train him on looking for flint in a bed of rocks. She thinks I am crazy.

Anyways I got to go out for the first time since he was born this past weekend. Leaves are long gone from the rock bars and it was a frigid 33 degrees. I only found one but at least it was a good Carter County side notch. Base is extremely ground and it’s probably one of my finest made finds from that area. Hope everyone has a merry Christmas and best of luck to you all on the next hunt

Congratulations !!!
I’m glad you got out and found some nice artifacts ...
When my son was born I too thought man, a little hunting buddy...Soooo when he was big enough and had stamina I started taking him with me to hunt artifacts... “ Where are the arrowheads daddy , where ?” I told him he must be patient and walk and look..As fate would have it,he did indeed find a nice true arrowhead..Now , this was like on the 5th time out and I loved being with him..After we got home he said , “ Daddy, I’m gonna give this arrowhead to you.” I inquired as to why, as it would be his first find of perhaps a vast collection..My son said and I quote ,” Daddy , I was only going because you wanted me to!” I asked him if he wanted to go with me anymore and he said maybe..So, it was not really his thing, he had other interest like baseball, football,music, etc etc.. He was a normal little boy that was not interested in hunting artifacts...And I did not force him ever to do anything !Now when it came to deer hunting from age 11-16 he was on it. He got some great deer ! That was right up until he turned 16, I bought him a pickup.. He went hunting for a two legged deer !
I hope your son does adopt your hobby, and always be proud and encourage any interest he may have...You never know, he might get you into another hobby and you will enjoy his hobby too....JJ

He’s going to have to earn that first find just like everything else in life haha...life doesn’t come planted for most people.

Ha ha! I try, D. J.

My first arrowhead wasn't planted, and it is the most cherished artifact I own. Just because I found it myself...
