Guess my lake site is played out due to a few factors. Private land and cant dig. Never have though, But would here. No more plowing down by the lake so everything is growing over. Just left with a small strip from grass to water. Only thing Ive found last few trips is small 1"-2" pottery shards. Guess Im done until something else comes along

Will be working on it. Problem is most around here wont let you on there property. They have been burned in the past by others looking for artifacts and dug there place up and left open holes everywhere. One guy told me he let a boy scout troop on his property to look for points. They camped the weekend out there and on Sunday when he went out to check on them it looked like a bombing mission with holes all over. Big holes 4-5ft deep and just as wide

Took roughly 30 years for the sites the Mrs. and I hunt to play out. Went from an average of 125 complete points per year( probably a weekly total in some parts of the country), when I was working five days a week, to about 5-10 points per year now, while I’m retired. We put a lot of pressure on our sites, so the blame lies with us, and they are not making points anymore. It’s a non renewable resource.Rhode Island

I feel weird going to My old spots still. Last one I went to is an old farmer/neighbor. Healthy looking and looks same as 20 years ago to me anyway. Hadn't seen him during the pandemic craze but being vaccinated I thought what the heck go see my old acquaintance. He showed me a couple finds over the last year or 2. 1 being a wicked afton looking point but didn't want to weird him out with photos. Got another spot though that a strange hunter tries to claim over property Owner and another with a mean wolfhound that belongs to his neighbor but I dont want to cause harm to someone's pet. I think I got burnout maybe though lol.
