very intersting indeed. I love the huge grinding stone uncovered, i wonder why it was left behind?

LOL!! Because it weighed 40 to 50lbs! It was probably used for many generations right there on the site.

Don't you have a camp in your back yard? I'd have the whole thing dug and looking like a big garden! lol

I found about a 4 pd nuggett...that came home with me. haha!

Not much gold in east Tx. I did find a 1800s case pocket knife, a 1840 nickle, two black powder shot gun shells, and a 1851 button though.

That's too awesome. That's lot of find! I wonder about my creek and its surrounding area. Some of it looks like the one you showed in the vid. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video and thanks for posting. As far as indian camps go, would this site be considered small, average or large? I know it was inhabitated over thousands of years but are we talking 5-10 people at a time or 50-100?

That varied widely over the centuries. In Paleo times probably a small group. In late archaic and woodland times it was part of a massive complex with likely hundreds of folks.
