About the event

🔥 Digstock Native Pit Dig 3 🔥


350 Acres of Living History

Digstock Native Pit Dig 3 gives you access to 350 privately secured acres that were once home to thriving Native American village communities. This is ground layered with generations of life — not a temporary campsite, but long-term settlements where families lived, worked, crafted, traded, and built community over decades.


This property is historically connected to the descendants of the Saponi, Tuscarora, Tutelo, and Nansemond peoples — tribes known for their resilience, strong village structures, agricultural knowledge, stone tool craftsmanship, and regional trade networks. These communities established permanent settlements, constructed dwellings, maintained fire pits, created tools and pottery, and left behind the material traces of everyday life.


Projectile points were shaped here.


Pottery was formed, fired, used, and broken here.


Tools were crafted, worn down, and discarded here.


Layer after layer, generation after generation — that is what creates the depth and density of a true village site.


What Makes Native Pit Dig 3 Special

This property contains multiple long-term village areas spread across the acreage, offering real opportunity for serious artifact recovery.

✔ 350 acres of historic village ground


✔ Multiple established settlement zones


✔ Open native pit digging


✔ Metal detecting permitted


✔ You keep everything you find


✔ All pits responsibly filled after the event


For two full days, diggers are allowed to dig pits as large as they wish. Go deep. Open it up. Work the soil properly. Digstock handles the backfill — meaning your only job is to dig, recover, and collect your artifacts.


No rushing to close holes.


No worrying about cleanup.


Just dig and hunt.


Every shovel full carries potential — points, pottery fragments, tools, trade items, and artifacts that have rested in the earth for centuries.

Events like this do not happen often. Access to ground of this caliber is rare — and once this dig reaches capacity, it closes.

The stories and finds from Native Pit Digs live on long after the weekend ends.


The only question is whether your finds will be part of that story.
