Digging threw some old maps of Connecticut

this one is of old Indian trails, villages and sachemdoms. Not sure how good you will be able to view this but the little pile of dots are the villages.

Where is says Mohegan's, our place is right above the letter H. Most of our roads here now still follow the old Indian Trails in this area.

well at finding them. With average 8 inches of top soil and heavy wood cover, one needs to dig for them. I've done it down at the shoreline with others and seen them find them and pottery etc, but I never found any. Don't seem to have the eye for. I've tried harder at a place in RI in a huge sand bank around a pond that others have found some nice ones, but I still am batting zero in finding one....

I'm using it as my test piece to recognize one. Not even sure if they had bird points here. I know where there is one of their camps I can get to on the quad, but also a major cover of 200 years of leaves and what have you. One would think I would find one there but so far nothing. A local pond about 10 miles from me drained down this year for repair produced some good hunting. They found an old Indian camp in there and the people around here into it found quite a bit but did it with the archeologist that do that in these parts. They worked on it pretty hard as it was only going to be exposed a short time, like 3 months. Its back underwater now. I never did see a follow up on just what they came up with. The ones I went to with a buddy in Niantic, CT were down about 12 inches in depth. Only found those because they were putting in a power line road to the nuke plant and after a rain, pottery and shell heaps were exposed. Not sure if it was a winter or summer camp but a lot of stuff was there. I did see him bring in a stone axe head, some really nice pottery. But other than what showed in the dozed dirt road way, it was all dig. I lost interest in that fast. They did have a big aframe with a lot of it on display, but I think thats been moved elsewhere now.
It always amazes me when I see you guys finding them right on the surface there by that lake...

great group of people, all with similar interest. I see your pictures you took and more on your U-tube account. Looked like guys had a super time.
