Hello folks...
I'm a newbie to the forums here at TRS and I'm excited to become a member. I'm not unfamiliar with the site since I used the available resources a few years back to summon the courage to change a cam position sensor on my 1997 3.0 XLT. That truck (damn, I loved that truck) was totaled from under me last Tuesday and I've since acquired a 1998 XLT Supercab 3.0. This one should prove an even better truck for our purposes and I'm looking forward to a long ownership.
The title comes from one of our regular activities when we get out and about. My wife's family has farmland in the CSRA and it appears that it includes an area that we believe to have been a regularly inhabited settlement for pre-columbian peoples. While Mississippian culture would have been the latest to inhabit the area, the close proximity of sites yielding Clovis points and tools suggest an even longer history. We are surface hunters and will scratch the surface but rarely dig holes. We have hundreds and hundreds of acres of cultivated field to cover that have yielded every class of tool and point over the years. When there is the occasional chance to really move dirt - like a recent pond damn restoration - we're there to cull the tailings. That method has given us some beautiful examples of tools. There's more out there and I'll keep you up on what our Ranger sniffs out for us.
