🥇 BANNER Mastodon Tusk...

[timekiller]

Hello folks, been sometime since I've been on here but I can tell you I've not stop doing what some of you on here may remember me doing. That's finding old stuff. I posted this in the fossil forum yesterday after I got it cleaned up some more.I found it Sunday afternoon metal detecting & it was dark before I finally got it dug out. So it soaked all day Monday while I worked until I got home. That's when I started trying to get the clay & shell off & posted it in fossil forum asking a few questions. I still think I can get it a little cleaner so it continues to soak today & likely I'll try again tomorrow. The metal detecting finds we're limited that day cause of the tusk find but I'LL add them to this post.

Thanks. As long as I know it was in the continental US (not Alaska, China or Siberia) I feel I have a chance to find something like that. Did I mention I found some clad cones in a Coinstar machine and two older oil cans in the woods today? I did, but just kidding. To me , not much compares to THAT find. You da MAN!!!

That would be "clad coins", not "clad cones" See how excited I got! Geez!

I had no idea they would be in that area. That is a great and pleasant shock for me. I thought much differently and, obviously, have a lot to learn. I will certainly be keeping my eyes open even wider for the " unexpected" after your find. Thank you for your post and the history lesson! This is exactly why I joined this site!

Incredible finds!

Nicely done, and all the best,
