Hi Everyone,

Ok, I did some research and found the location of a Native American trading post on the SE side of our downtown area. I went out to do the detecting. I found this most unusual object. It is somewhat oval shaped with an open end. It kinda looks like a letter C or U. Not sure which way is up on it. It has some sort of binding twine attached.

Regardless, I am sure this is the first item of its kind found in Texas.

Yea, you don't see any of those coming out of Texas. I did see one that was dug in Alaska and I'm pretty sure that it's Confederate. Alaska furnished 8 regiments of Confederate infantry. :laughing9:

Looks like a boomerang, possibly brought by Spanish explorers.

I am sure there was something like this on Ancient Aliens. The Ancient Astronaut Theorists were having a debate with the mainstream scientists regarding the use creating a global energy field.

No, no nails found with it. The old twine makes me think it might have been hung from the trading post tree at some point. It was down about an inch.

Better check all mushrooms in the area for signs of inhabitants. They may be conspiring with the aliens.

The earliest "iron formimg" comes from meteor peices hammered into small beads....forged iron came quite a bit later ..... say 1000 - 300 BC as it was not discovered simultaneously all over the world. Just for arguments sake lets assume thaat it is not of "Alien" origin....although should ceertainally be considered, as it could be interpreted as a quick repair using local materials to a thruster or even main warp engine on many interplanetory vehicles.
But lets continue to assume it is not from Aliens and ponder this relic.
I believe the twine plays a key role in identifying this amazing find....but first we must know if it is hemp, kelp, cat gut, or even twine at all? Only extensive laboroatory testing will let us know for sure. Did you count the holes to see if it alligns to any of the Mayan Calendars?
We must also assume that WHATEVER it is....and this is the theory that I lean toward.....the origin of it is probably very small. Perhaps microscopic. we all know that your specimen must be HUGE as compared to whatever it is modeled after! Because everyone knows that EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas!

In order for a Horse shoe to contain luck you need to follow some steps....

Step 1: Make sure your "lucky Horse Shoe" was actually lost and lost by a horse...
Step 2: Don't tip the horse shoe sideways or upside down with open end facing down. You can spill out all the luck if you do.
Step 3: Hang the actual horse shoe over the entrance way on the inside of any door open side up.
Step 4: Collect the luck
Step 5: Be totally surprised by the amazing things you find, after you gain some luck.

Keep @ it and HH !! :laughing7:
