What buried treasures have you found doing field work?

Is it blackpowder? He seems to be in unusually good humour lately for some reason, and less fixated on his favorite topic.

Gee, I have a reputation??
Help me out. What's my favorite topic?
Women?? Anyways, Blaithin hasnt found me yet.
Haven't posted while drinking in a while either.


Harness rings etc will be found forever it seems. Small parts. Bigger ones from old yard sites getting less and less.
Found most of a Clovis point once and later found more of it nearby. Strange as was in a road allowance. Just before a major road rework too. My Dad was there at the time. It also reminds me the expanse of time. Clovis points common enough and yet so old with a history of manufacture and trade. Obsidian source in Yellowstone likely. Possibly up to 13000 years old i believe. I imagine the missing tip lodged in a mammoth somewhere.

Well, we were discussing beaver on a recent friday crop report thread, and you didn't contribute... So I made some assumptions.

[ATTACH]8099don't have a clue but I think the Indians drank rickards red.

The disk in the middle is 2 inches perfectly round, I’m told it’s a fossil but I don’t know.

Found half a potato....petrified. It's an area beside the yard that my grandmother once had a garden.

Based on the input on any number of posters on here, could it be the missing link?

Some of the posters on this site should be buried treasures....

Amazing what the points on a drill pick up. I find lots of horse shoes, harness rings, evevner hooks, old chain. I have found things I've lost, have a set of harrows with some dumb connecting links that fall off, have found them again, also found a piece off the sprayer I lost last year. Not sure how it caught them but last year got a claw hammer and this year a set of pliers. It's the only way I can convince the kids to ride with me is the anticipation of snagging something.

I'm still looking for the missing link, so I can connect all these short broken chains that I keep finding with the drill.

Are you suggesting that Chuck might actually be good for something after all?
Seems like a stretch, pardon the pun.

To avoid squelching the hint of hope in your question, I shall refrain from answering it.

Therefore, the link will remain missing unless you make your own connections with the useless fragments you've collected.

Had a Bourgault drill that broke a shank every 200 acres for a while. Still finding odd one.
