Let me tell ya I don’t find many seashells in the fields of the Midwest! 😂 Hunting for artifacts is the closest thing to shelling where I’m from.

I believe my brother has found some grinding stones and some impressive arrowheads. As a kid I loved it just because it was so exciting. Years later I started to appreciate the artifacts and learn more about them. We live in an area that has quite a bit of Native American history so much of the ground is protected. Luckily if you know the right farmer they’ll give permission to hunt their fields. I do believe the Carolinas are going to be at the top of my vacation wishlist.
