...but I'll take it any day. I was metal detecting the yard of a house built in the 1850s that was originally a slave market, so I figured there just had to be something in the ground. The widow who lived there had developed Alzheimer's, had been placed in a nursing home and the children have it listed for sale, so I thought I'd better give it another try although the two or three previous hunts had produced little more than a '64 Rosie and a war nickel. I was working a cleaned out flower bed out front when I eyeballed this. Our little town is bound by a river on one side and creeks on two, so finding an arrowhead is not that farfetched. I've found a few in my yard around the block through the years, but nothing this nice. Beats what I've been finding lately and makes my first point of the year.

Yeah, I stuck the base between my lips until I got home. Way too risky to put it in my pocket, pouch or anywhere else. How it escaped the lady's gardening tools all these years is amazing.
 

Perfect , great find and you broke the ice. Wow in 1850's we still had NA's running around this area.
