Combined 80yrs Worth

[timekiller]

Decided to take a few picks today of me & my dads finds.He's got about 50yrs in & I've got about 30yrs in.This is not all that we've found but is a good part.All are from the coastal waters here in North Carolina.Maybe one day when I've got sometime I'll get them out a take some better shots in the sun light And get them all gethered up as well seems how they are scattered everywhere through the house.Enjoy
Take Care,
Pete,

Thanks folks for the kind words. Glad to have shared with ya.80yrs seems like a long time & I'm 40 now & my Dad is in the fight of his life with lung cancer.But with the way we hunted these finds alot of factors was involved & time spent walking over some tough terrian,wind,tide all factors.A good day for us would be say like 5 good pieces.So it has taking some time to build such a collection.He got me started young & I've enjoyed it & will continue to add to it as time goes on.

The map below shows some of the tribes these finds would have came from.

Take Care,
& The Best to Each of Ya!

Prayers go out to him in this time of hard ship.

Can you tell me what the round piece in the upper left of the photo is? It looks like something I found with gunflint and buttons just yesterday.

If your talking about the pic. with the butt plate & flints then it's a piece that I've got with my gun parts I've found.And figured it to be a piece off the end of a pistol handle like the pic below.

Super nice collection I always love seeing artifacts from my state...I was down in Kure beach this weekend I wanted to go hunting but didn't know where to look...I asked a few old timers but people looked at me like I was from another planet...ha

G'morning Pete. loved them but it kinda hurt me thinking of one of those entering my hide. he he.

As for you father, tell him that I had terminal neck cancer 9 years ago. I refused radiation and Chemo, and 'cured', not controlled, myself with Cesium chloride. Check it out on the net. I believe that it cost me $150 US. It is compatible with any treatment.

Final thingies, I am now 89, going for 150. I expect to see him there for my birthdy party.

Pete,

I have a frame of flints also. Few know what they are. Is this correct, honey color ones=French darker ones=English what I've been told?

Yes that's the general rule,not sure how true as I've found the two together on same sites but so much trading & all went on back then it could explain that part.
Take Care,
Pete,
Ps. If you don't you should get a detector & check over the sites your finding them at,should be other goodies there as well.
