One more sweep? Sometimes it pays off.

[Virginiaguy]

So....I got out for two hours this morning to walk a recently turned field along the Shenandoah River in Northern Virginia. At the end of my wife allocated two hours, I had nothing, so I decided to do one more sweep. After 47 years of marriage, my wife expects me to be late. So I made the right decision, and 15 minutes later I had these three points in my pocket. The moral of the story? Marry the right woman and you find more points.

You make a couple of good points.. Lucky you. I always have my eyes on the ground in rained out rock areas in the woods but have yet to find one point! Someday!

Great looking finds.

My wife knows when I say I'll be back in a couple of hours that I'll be home before dark.

I tell my wife there are worse things a man can search for than rocks.

Great finds....

I think the only way I could find anything as nice as what you found would be if I stepped on it, it went through my shoe sole, and stuck into me - then I'd find one!

Nice finds , especially the center point. That’s funny what Joshua said anytime my wife complains about me “being obsessed with arrowheads” I say the same thing I could have a lot worse habit or hobby than hunting for artifacts.

Nice Finds!


So true. That's why I take my wife with me, that way I can blame her for being late getting home. Ha! Ha!

 

[Huzzah!]

I'm always late, but still my wife expects me on time

Welcome Virginiaguy, nice unbroken finds! I as well, married a very understanding woman but went a step forward.
Her Dad was an amateur gemologist and was always looking on the ground for fragments of semi precious stones,
petrified wood or Native American relics. So she's used to guys who do that. This our 46th together. In fact, we
probably don't live but a couple of miles apart. I grew up hunting the plowed fields along the South Fork of the
Shenandoah. That's when they still planted corn instead of houses. The northern valley has gone mad with
development these and more good sites are being lost.

Best wishes!
