Just how many crowns did she have???
Sorry to drag this out so far but I'm still wondering if it's legal or not to dig in a mound if it's on your own property?
It wouldn't need to be a long mound. The Creek Indians buried their dead in a circular pit, sitting up. Why disturb it?
But on my neighbors property there are a group of mounds. They are on the east side of a hill above a creek and pond. They are right across the property line so I can see them from the fire break but I have never really poked around them. Figure it would be best to let those spirits be! What do you think?
Thanks
I found both of these yesterday in the woods sitting right on top of a dirt mound. Does anyone have a clue what the pottery piece might be. It's grooved on each side. I wonder if it was used to wrap string or something around??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also if you look at the edge what kind of grog do you see?
Sure but I think they are dirt. There is a lot of moss on them and I am a big fan of no tresspassing! They are about 20 yards off my property. However they are in a circle, they seem tall or steep, that hill leads down to a creek head and pond, you can almost see the pond through the trees. I have always felt it was a special spot.

Dawg2, I didn't know that. See you can learn me something..
yea I took some notes there too, you just have to filter through about 42 posts a day to find anything from that fella..
most rock piles in the woods are as stated above, piles from fields being cleared. true buriel grounds exist all over Georgia, both known and relatively unknown. There are many large mounds and small mound complexes throughout the state, again both known and relatively unknown. I have hunted relics all over the south and have seen many village sites and burial grounds. Surface hunting with permission is one thing, but, NEVER disturb burial grounds! Check the internet and libraries for further info on mounds and tumuli in the south. P.S. nice find!
