“””UPDATE PICS DOWN BELOW”. Went to the Fort and dug this 6” inside the Fort in the white shells. Hard digging. Doing electrolysis now. Any ax men out there to age this beauty? Will take pics after.

You have shells. I have clay and chert (clay,rocks,and very little dirt). You found and own a piece of America history. Was it used in battle, was it used on a ship, or was it used to build a fort? If it was mine... I would sit and stare at it and just wonder.

I’m going to go look at it again lol

Highett I was just researching this spot just now. This could be is 20 x 20 section of shells I discovered. IMG_2740.jpg

Oh and clay man trust me summer Louisiana clay is like asphalt IMG_3202.jpg

That’ll work better than electrolysis or just as good?

Works as good ,Vinegar takes about 7 days but is much safer . If you want to see how sharp the axe blade is , try it out on those dreadful hats you have .chop chop lol TP

Hey I also found this in the same spot but not as deep as the tomahawk IMG_2743.jpg IMG_2744.jpg

It’s just the digging is so hard there and with the heat and humidity I can’t go that long. Takes me a hour to get there and I can on dig 2 hours max and I only find something 1 outta 5 trips so far. Gotta stay positive:))

Thanks washingtonian I’ve been pretty lucky. I haven’t found as much this year, but I’ve hit my most bucket listers this year. Crazy hobby
