I got a late start today but managed to make some decent finds. These items were dug from a high bluff with a commanding view. This post probably protected the main fort or camp. I started off finding a few drops and then part of a spur.
I dug my 3rd pocket knife in the last two trips. The arrowhead or spearpoint was a surprise, but i guess this same spot was a good one to hunt game for the native Americans. The brass buckle has me puzzled, anyone know what it was used for please let me know. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Tim
