      At 9:00 in the video where the stone pillars are in the river it seems like a good place to metal detect and look for artifacts. People could have been standing on top of the bridge and thrown stuff off in the old days down river with the current.

Thanks for the ride along and for taking us by the scene of your attack. I don’t know anyone who’s been tackled and mauled by a rabied beaver while hunting and lived, except you. Looking forward to PawPaw munching season in Aug/Sept. Happy hunting.
