Where we are in Southeastern NC along the Cape Fear River used to be ocean, so it is easy to find marine fossils in places where the bedrock is exposed (which is fairly common), but we recently did an erosion control project that required some deep digging and found a lot of fossilzed shark's teeth, walrus teeth, etc... A lot of spear points and a few small arrowheads have been found here and my grandfather found a tomahawk head on a farm he used to tend about 10 miles down river. For some reason, there have been many more spear points than small arrowheads found in our general area. There have also been minie balls and round balls about the size of a lemon found within a couple of miles of here but several miles apart. Some have been identified as Civil War relics, but who knows about the rest. Our family has been here since 1865 but I don't know much about who was here before except for two graves on the place from the 1780s. You can tell where old houses were at one time though. There are several places on the farm where you will plow up shards of blue and white pottery, pieces of glass and brick, etc... I've even found long buried parts of horseshoes and half of a forged axe head in the same place, so it lends me to think that place was used for blacksmithing at one time. It also was home to a tenant house once, and now is the site of my house, on a narrow strip between the edge of a field and the drop-off to the river swamp. We keep hoping to dig up some jars of 20 dollar gold pieces, but haven't had any luck there.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
