    Keep digging guys. It's great reaching out to locals from around America to team up with and investigate areas where there are possible ancient anomalies, which the academics refuse to deviate on their secular world view. I've been keeping an ear open to areas in central Texas where I live about similar sites that may have been mostly forgotten.

    I am not sure but some people now days use copper rods to find sights like these. Also some types of wood reacts to water passing through aquafers which also produces a current. Maybe ancient people knew of these methods.

    I do know where there was a civil war base camp with artillery burms still visible. On private property but that owner told me thats what they are. No one has ever put a detector on it.

    @@brenthiteoutdoors Here's a tidbit to get you started, from The Scrapbook of Arkansas Literature (page 423): The old fort on Cane Hill. When the early settlers came to Cane Hill in Washington County they found the remains of an old fort, which was evidently the work of civilized men and not of savages. This fort was built around some spring near the center of Cane Hill, on what is known as the White McClellan place, now owned by Mr. John McClellan. A writer in the Commercial Appeal in 1859 says: "A portion of the stone wall still exists, but the greater part has long since been demolished. When I first visited that locality in 1832 two squares of wall were standing. The work was of rough but substantial masonry, about a half acre, including several springs, was enclosed; huge stone basins, curiously carved and of various shapes and dimensions, were found there and in the vicinity by early settlers. "Daniel Boone, the great pioneer, accompanied by the late Governor Baggs of Missouri were the first white men who climbed that hill. They visited it in 1804 or 1805 and named the hill 'Black Hill'. The Indians then residing there told them that as far back as their tradition reached, the fort had been there and they had no idea by whom or when it had been built. "An oak, at least four feet in diameter, standing on part of the dilapidated wall and evidently planted since the erection of the wall, bears indisputable evidence of the lapse of several centuries. It is said the wild Indians held yearly councils within the fort; they also resorted thither to smoke the pipe of peace and hold consultation relative to their general good. They regarded the old fort as a consecrated place." From another source we learn that marks of tools on stone and wood were very plentiful, as also were the marks of steel tools. "I picked up within the enclosed area a very old ax of ancient make, left there, doubtless, by the original builders." The old tree showed marks of fighting. Hatchets of stone, sharp-pointed instruments for cutting stone and an abundance of arrow heads were found by the early settlers. They also occasionally picked up Spanish coins, giving the supposition that the fort was built by De Soto and his men. The entrenchments were plainly seen until after the Civil War; now the ground is in cultivation. Thus has passed one of the very earliest landmarks of the northwest part of the state. -Clara B. Eno
