Muskrat spear & other stuff today......

Temp finally got back above freezing today---but the ground is still frozen! Took forever to chip the muskrat spear out of the ground! ( It's 14 1/2" long!) Biggest one I have found. Had to scan it twice to get all of it.
Got a little bit of Trade Silver & the usual "tinklers"...the little white piece in the middle is a barrell bead. What looks like a big tinkler is actually an arrow or spear point.

I did a search for muskrat spear & this showed up. Only seven & a half years late but great finds! This forum has the best stuff imo.

Was looong overdue. Glad you're still with the site! Over 2000 views over the years without a single reply or even a like?! That would have bothered me. That's some great stuff! I don't have any trade silver & likes are free. Hh
