The silver drought is over!

[Spike]

Had to find a way to break the silver drought so what better place than old fathful silver field #26 silver half and a nice one <: they are getting scarce but gave up another :happydance01: and the next day my first silver dime with the At pro finally I knew it would find big silver but other than the small German coins was the only silver I found sounded very good at 5in thumbsup01

[Cheap Thrills]

Nice Half glad you're drought is over !! :peace: :clapping:

Well if none of the other half dollars are any newer than 1942, then you probably have the year that the cache was burried, because that coins looks mint state :shocked04: Nice find, and glad the AT Pro is starting to get down in depth a bit. 5 is a good start. Is that a point you found in the field?? :confused: Looks like someone should not practice knapping when drinking rofl Hope it's not you Spike :shocked01:

lol Knapping is what the process of making an arrow head (point) is called. The flaking off of stone with another stone hitting it. Usually, the makers of points take great pride in their work and can knapp some incredible examples. That one just looks a bit different than what I have usually seen.

[Cheap Thrills]

Thank you George . Now I are hipped . |:confused:) Perhaps the arrow hit the spine of the intended meal? :thinkingabout:

[Ill Digger]

What a nice piece of silver to break the drought with!!
Love those Walkers :smitten:
Congrats on that bad boy! thumbsup01 :grin:
The point does look pretty crude :yes: :dontknow:
Some of the cruder points I usually chalk those up to a youngsters first attempt at knapping. Or pieces made in a hurry for a quick blade :dontknow:
Who knows :dontknow: And who cares! It's old and cool!! lol :cool:

I guess that ends your silver slump in a big way...how do you people find arrow heads?? Do you just find them on the surface? I see lots if them posted.

I am just lucky enough to live where the indians really liked to live alot of creeks and been huntting them 30 years in farm fields thumbsup01 and it seems like where the indians lived early settlers took over so I get to find old coins and arrow heads :smitten:

What a way to break the drought!! <:
It is just incredible the number of halves you have found at the site.
Seems like more fun to find a scattered about cache then all of them in one lump sum. :yes:
Nice job on the rosie and a bigger congrats on the point. :clapping:

That arrow head may have been reused as a shaft straightener, might explain the deep grooves where you would normally haft it. :thinkingabout: Maybe...
