Ohio Weekend Finds

[catherine1]

It snowed over the weekend so I got the shovel out and dug the artifacts out of the ground. My first drill and square knife? Thanks for the look.

You had a good dig. Thanks for sharing.

The daggers in the top of the pic were unexpected. I kept the first one out of couriosty, And when I found the second in the same spot. Well they were too sharp and similar in design to ignore as plain rocks. Those plus the other pieces kept me from collecting a lot of bunk rocks. It is supposed to be mostly frozen and COLD in the next few days. I have a cave that needs attention, and if the weather stays nasty, I will venture there---and keep you posted my friends!!! Stay warm. Thanks Keith.

Good dig. Sounds like you have arrowhead fever? digging frozen ground. I have some caves I need to get started on as well. Do you have any dig pictures?

The ground was not frozen when I dug. And I have only taken one pic so far of my finds at the farm. But I plan to dig again on friday when the temps will be above 40. I use a edging shovel, and cut out a 30x12 inch area about 6 inchs in depth. Then I slice the sod in half, and then flip the two pieces of sod out of the gound. I then use a dull steak knife to check the hole. And then I check the two pieces of sod. And flip them back into the hole. Here is pics of a point I found. And also pics of the cave with a test hole showing a charcoal line. I should be able to dig in and around the cave as the soil is almost moisture free. PM me SOHIO. I live in Adams Co.
