It was in the mid 70s yesterday, so my wife and I went out on a local lake propecting around old home sites that are covered by water most of the year. The lakes in this area are dam controlled. They draw them down in the winter months for flood control. So They claim.
We beached on this spot because there was an old home site up near tree line.
I found all kinds of nails and a few old buried cans. I didn't bring the cans home.
I stumbled on some chert that looked like they had some chipping work done on. Maybe some idians years ago were working on them.
I figured before the Holston river was dammed in the 40s a lot of this area was plowed and planted. My wife found some old pottery pieces and bottles and some nice drift wood, that I need to trim up, for yard decoration. Sun was fixen to set
So we figured we'd better go. Boats all muddy now, but the car wash will clean it up. Plenty more old farm sites on this lake waiting for another day.
