Found a pure silver hand tooled goncho from an old pair of chaps still attached to a piece of leather. This has got to be one of my best finds EVER.

I tried balancing, cropped yor spearpoint.

 

[Red_desert]

Heck what a find!!!!



Just a little cropping after balancing them, adjust resolution....easy now to see.

 

[Red_desert]

Is that one relic an axe head?

 

[Red_desert]

Here is the main photo, took the most working on.

Believe that point may be a spear head or some kind of tool, it will fit in the palm of your hand. Over the years I have been all over that land and only found a few small bird points. Its really sandy soil up there so that may be why. Was thinking about taking the concho to the UT museum and possibly seeing what info I may find to date it. Then again kind of leary to do that.

 

[Red_desert]

It might depend on who you talk to, what museum you take it to. I've heard stories of treasure hunters taking very old valuable artifacts to a museum for info, only to be called a thief (then asked where they got it), only reason because of "they are a treasure hunter".

Yea I know what you mean, there's a man down the road from us about 5miles that has some land he was plowing up and found some Native Indian artifacts, that was until the MAN came in and named it an Archaeological Site. Needless to say he is very very limited on what he can and can't do on that section of his property now.

It looks like, from what you are saying, the site was on private property. What ever happened to land owner rights?

 

[Tx7]

Yes it is his property, not sure of the specifics but apparently he found some old bones or something of the nature and they claimed it was an Indian burial ground or something. He did show me the field one time and to me it looked just like any other old hay field. Then again, what do I know.

If there are signs of it being Indian burial ground....yes, I can see protecting it, except the damage was already done on the surface probably many years ago. We have a whole housing subdivision this area called "Enchanted Hills" because the homes were build on a huge Indian burial grounds. That is one site which should have been preserved.

 

[Red_desert]

Did you ever find anything else?

 

[Red_desert]

Took some of the red out of that last pic, this is what it should look like.
