An Arrowhead, A Drill Stem, and my Smallest Horseshoe

[Eastender]

I was hoping for back to back very successful detecting days. But the early colonial farmers apparently left so little to find. No such things as cellar holes. Maybe a small patch of strewn cobblestone but no soil depression. I can tell when I am near to where their minimal house structures were by just small patches of nails. And where the vegetable gardens were as opposed to crop and field because they managed to pick the smallest of stones out. Today I was detecting around two freshwater kettle holes where they must have harvested waterfowl for years.

I must be closing on a hundred horse shoes, many from the 1700s. This may be my smallest one. Maybe it's a mule shoe. I always leave them. Probably should keep and make a sculpture with them.

My growing surface arrowhead collection shows me that my eyes are probably my best detector.
