Hello and thank you from eastern mass. I've enjoyed reading this site for at least four years, signed up back then but sure i hadnt posted till now. I'll try to add value if I can moving forward.
Ive always loved the outdoors, nature and history, since my youth playing in "the woods", hunting, fishing, hiking and a love of reading non fiction, especially history/pre-history. Ive found more time for the outdoors in recent years but hunting/fishing much less and hiking much more. I enjoy trying to read the land and speculate on the native americans who left their mark in my neighborhood, the places I hunted/fished, and the trails Ive hiked. I keep an eye out on the surface for artifacts and it's an honor, and fascinating, to find things left by the original pioneers, the natives. My finds aren't museum worthy, but are priceless to me and might add value to local knowledge. Blades of all types and sizes are the most common finds, most are left where they lie, occasionally an unbroken point, pestle, adze, fire cracked rocks and workshop debitage. There are few statues or monuments honoring/acknowledging these pioneers, a shame, not even a holiday. But they are remembered and honored here, thats what kept me visiting, thank you!
