Hello – I’m Maureen Mackey, the “hound” in The History Hound. I’m a writer with a passion for history. For the last couple of years I’ve blogged about the Regency Era in The Regency Looking Glass, but in this blog I’ll expand my focus to include other historical periods. 0 Followers, 0 Following, 2 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from MJ (@historyhound.au).

Basset Hound History
I (Spike) have been hunting arrowheads and Indian (native american) artifacts for over 37 years and Randy and I have been hunting arrowheads together for over 22 years. My son Brian and Randy's son Chance, and Randy's cousin Kenneth have joined us over the past several years. We all love the outdoors. As you can see in the videos, we get excited at finding the slightest artifact, relic or arrowhead and the level of excitement goes up with the quality, age and size of said artifact. For years we only walked plowed fields in search of the elusive arrowheads but recently we have discovered creek walking and digging in the creeks and on dry land. We also enjoy other outdoor adventures and will from time to time go digging for bottles and even do some metal detecting. We give you a 'total' experience as we take you along with us on our outdoor adventures. Our channels and site are family friendly and we strive to bring you quality videos, not only in the artifacts we find but in the entertainment value as well.
