It's how I found it that still amazes me!
This is not a one way blog and I just copied and pasted my post from a very dusty Mysterial in the UK. It's one of hundreds of mysteries/paranormal forums well visited but seldom posted in by any active members. I blame the nightly viewed purple faced user's little hand held devices for nearly all alternative news forum's doldrums!
My use of the word doldrums means there's no wind on the ocean!
Easily discovered ancient archaeology artifacts would be arrowhead hunting with chances to find decorated pieces of Native American pottery, stone tools like nutting stones, stone war clubs, flint knives & hoes, and heavy milling stones. It's the those luck filled finds exposed by rain, the annual freezes & thaws, plowing and disking in farm fields.
Late Winter in 2009
After work today I went to the big coal mine arrowhead hunting with a metal detector. Flint is not metal, but my keepsake arrowhead was lost in late winter when the cord's clasp got a 1/16 of an inch opening I was not aware of. Once in a while while driving the coal truck it would get caught on the seat belt's shoulder strap! I got home before daylight and I pulled the cord from around my neck and said, "Oh no!"
I did not find it today but I will go back again. Using the detector was fun and it worked well. My keepsake had a copper arrowhead glued to it. It was a gift from my antique collecting Mother. It was a long ago tourist's purchase that had an Indian chief's face with his feathered headdress engraved on it. The copper arrowhead's top had a hole for a necklace clasp. So I glued the two together and wore it around my neck daily.
Of course I have a 1999 log trucking story behind this search. I had found a Shawnee Indian's lost 2 inch long arrowhead from my SCANIA's cab as it glinted in the sunlight over 80 feet away in a very dusty two track logging road
This took place after 3 years of periodic hauling from that large pasture with my last load of export black walnut logs all while driving up a very steep hill! When I first saw it sparkle, I said to myself, "That is an arrowhead and not glass reflecting the in the sun!" So I set the brakes on that full load going to South Korea via Meyer Container on the south side of East St. Louis, Illinois!
I got out and walked that 80 feet up the hill and I was right! The Illinois logger's crew driving up behind me thought I was broke down on the hill. I walked back behind my load to show them the perfect ancient flint arrow point. A light wind must have blown the dust off of it so it would shine in the sun! Or I would never had seen it through my Swedish built SCANIA truck's huge windshield!
It was napped with a deer antler to be large in size for hunting the whitetailed deer and the now extinct eastern woodland buffalo herds that migrated North and South through Shawneetown, Illinois.
I went back to more places on Sunday that I might have exited the coal truck but I never found it.
