I can't tell you how lucky I got today. I was out with a buddy today. We were detecting, but also looking for arrowheads and such. We spent some time in one field, and found a bunch of flakes and fragments. Didn't find anything of note with the detectors. We moved to another field permission. While crossing the field I got a faint, deep squeaky signal on my AT max. It was a high tone, but it pinpointed at 8-10 inches deep. I dug a plug and flipped it out. Fast forward to the target, it was a rusty nail in the side wall. But the find of my life was sitting in the plug staring right back at me...
Somehow, by some miracle, my target brought me to this amazing native artifact, and I didn't chop it with my shovel. It is huge at about 3 inches in length. And it is beautiful!!! There's a chance it is a Hopewell point at 1500 yrs old, but I'm no expert. So excited to find this. Here are a few more pics for you. Morale of the story...always dig those nail signals, and dig a big enough plug!!!
