[MonkeyBoy]

I was digging a house site yesterday that dates to late 1700s and in one of the first holes I dug I turned over my first gun flint in 20 years of hunting!! Good thing since it was about the only thing I found... did get one nice flat button. I'll post some pics later..

I'm still not sure I believe it, until I see a picture of you holding it with today's newspaper in your other hand.





That is very cool, Mark. A very nice find.
