THURSDAY: What is this?



Today's item was found in field, which has yielded items from the mid 1800s.

It certainly looks like a partially completed arrowhead.  Could it be a chipping?


Rear does not look worked
This view certainly looks like it's been worked

The right edge is very thin

We think it is an unfinished chipping.  
What do you think? 

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL

THURSDAY: WHAT IS THIS?

Today's "what is this" comes from the Victorian pasture where most relics and coins are dated mid 1800s.

This is made of brass.  It is supposed to sit on something?  Is it a sight of some kind?

Looking from the top

Upright side view.  Did that round part cradle something?

This one has me stumped.

If you have any idea, please let me know.

Until tomorrow, KEEP IT REAL.

WEDNESDAY VIDEO:The Horseshoe Blooper

Today is Wednesday, and that means a video.

Today's video is a blooper.  My digging buddy Kelly was absolutely convinced she had a horseshoe in the hole.  Well, it didn't turn out that way.



Hope you enjoy.

Until tomorrow, stay warm and KEEP IT REAL.
