Derek Gilley here from Wicksburg Al a small farming town in Houston County just outside of Dothan. Born and raised farming that's all I'll ever do. Married with 2 boys one just turned 16 and the other will be 4 in 11 days. Collected all my life but really feel in love with it bout 12 years ago and had a good collection fairly quick. Then about 8 going on nine years ago I had roughly 365 points, drills, etc stolen from me and for some reason just quit going said the heck with it never find my points but did find out who done it. Anyway last summer my 3 year old and I were with a friend and he wanted to stop and look so we were walking and my boy loved it but all boys love the dirt and stuff. Couple days later all i had heard was I want to go look for rocks Daddy so finally gave in and at 3 years old all he wanted to pick up was Flint of some kind no matter how many just rocks were there he would say that's not Indian air rock Daddy and keep walking and would for hours. So slowly I regained interest cause that's all he wanted to do with in a year me and him found 68 points not counting broke pieces knives and scrapers and at go ahead and say 4 years old he has 3 personal finds of his own with no help what so ever and 2 of them are creek finds. I'll shut up now Sorry for going on and on just live too tell that story and figured this would be the right crowd to do so
