Hi all,
I know I've been a rare visitor around these parts this year, but that doesn't mean I didn't want to be here. I spent the last couple years, '16 in particular, watching over my very old dad. He passed away this past February. So the times have been complicated to say the least. I'm the only child and only family member (sigh). And probate is downright evil. So, although I didn't get out much, I did take some dedicated down-time to clear my head and just breathe.
So... I have just three things to show for a year+some. The first is a big maybe, but I'm guessing it's an anchor of some sort. Found in a wash-up area where things tend to ground and sit until the next big (BIG) flood. You can tell me what you think. I've got the thickest skin in the world at this point
I don't think it's an axe because it's way too crude. Could be a hoe? Maybe...
Next up is that dandy little (I don't know the name for it)... white quartz point. I love this one. I dug it out of a mud-pack-- the type that takes some serious abrading to actually erode.
Finally, I was down in Surry County- and of all the crazy things to find on a shoreline with a freaking gazillion things to catch the eye, I found this poor little point- a devastated woodland, I suspect, but maybe a little older. How I saw it, I really don't know. And, this was just a couple days ago, so what with wind-chill, it was in the teens and single digits. Good golly it was cold. Just to-the-bone cold. (as an aside, I found a decent little mako tooth too!)
this is the shore I was searching... yikes!
So, that's it for the year. I wish you all peace and joy in the new year. And may all you all find what you're looking for on your hunts for treasure!
