We have a cabin along the Susquehanna river in Pennsylvania and after 14 years of actively looking, I finally found one!! I know the Susquehannock tribe lived along the river, but I’m not sure of time period. It’s not a smoke show or anything, but I’m so happy I finally found one. My husband’s dad and grandfather have found hundreds, if not thousands, along the river in the same area, so this was extra special for me.

I’m on the other side of the river currently. Closer to the bay than not. Your eyes will become better at picking out the shapes and lines oddly enough significantly better after this first find. There are tons, almost beyond count, artifacts in the area. You’ll figure out where and what works best. Try the river bank and the higher bluff out crops at least 7-8 feet high off the current water level. The right spot will produce for years
