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

Edge looks thin

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

Until next time, KEEP IT REAL

MONDAY: Metal Detecting Meme

It's Monday and that means it's time for a meme.


I will admit I may have detected the metal pieces of my boots, however I have never dug down this far before realizing that was the case.  

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Until tomorrow, KEEP IT REAL

FRIDAY: Find Day

FIND DAY !!!


Well I must say Kelly and I were shaking our heads as to what this was when we unearthed it.

Here's another view.

Do you know what it is?  Let me tell you.

It is a marijuana "bud buster".  
Yes, I was shocked when someone told me what it is.

You find the weirdest things when you are metal detecting.

What is the weirdest thing you have pulled from the ground?

That's it for today.  Until next time, KEEP IT REAL !!!

WEDNESDAY VIDEO DAY: Musket Ball in the Hole

It's Wednesday, and that means a video.

In this episode, my digging buddy Kelly unearths a musketball.  It was very unexpected, however it told us that this was an OLD area.  It was also the first of many great finds, as we moved to even an older area of this old pasture.


I have been spending a great deal of time with an elderly parent in the hospital.  I am hoping that she will be well soon and will be returning home shortly.  In the meantime, I will try to keep posting on a regular schedule.

Until next time,

KEEP IT REAL
