Steve, I picked up some 3M Rubber Splicing Tape @ Lowes yesterday, 3/4" x 22'. Is this pretty close to what you're using? Asked @ TSC and they looked at me like duh? What's it used for?

 

[larson1951]

i can send you a roll of the ipg brand if you want

here are mac232 sticks receiving the mojo spirit from the mandan site before i send them to him
image #1: planted into a midden
image #2: lying on a buffalo scapula absorbing energy
image #3: on the surface just laid down and just so happened right by a broke old point, a little KRF gum drop scraper, and an old patinated KRF scraper (upside down)
image #4: the stuffView attachment 666308View attachment 666309View attachment 666310View attachment 666311View attachment 666312qq

It's still hard to fathom that these are the same sticks just a week ago that sat on this midden !!! Had them in the Jeep with me today , along with my late BIL's ashes and eye balled a silver chain and pendant ............ Coincidence , Probably , but ...... who's to say .......




Mac




P.S. BIL 's Ashes fit into a small pill bottle , water proof , He is the one who got me into metal detecting so I try to honor him by taking him with me .......

i always say "a person has to have something to believe in"
what happened today for you Mac is what I'm talking about
may your next trip be even better

Sure Larson! I would be happy for you to use my idea! Thanks!

[birdpointgriswold]

Here is another idea Larson...to prevent my stick(I'm trying to avoid "that's what she said" haha) from loosing its length, I got some of this stuff called Plastidip from Lowes. Its used to coat tool handles and stuff. I'm dipping the tip of it about 2 inches high to make it more durable! I've used it on other things too. It works really well! You could even use it on the handle too but I like the wood feel...haha I'm prob gonna catch a lot for this comment!

just a tip, coins will put metal marks on your arrowheads.
mite be best to use the plastidip on the tip.

Yeah that's what I was saying..I don't want my tip broken away so I dipped it in it works great!

Nothing fancy just perfect.I have went through a few flippers now! What works for me is a garage sale ski pole.just cut round plastic ring off bottom.usually made of aluminum or bamboo.

I find those real nice, too. have a loop on em, so you dont have to hold em, and always have a good grip. have used old golf clubs with the end off, also! and never wear out.

Larson you rock on the flippin sticks. I have an old ski pole light as a feather that I have had I know for over 10 years. It has flipped snakes swatted wasp kept me glued to the side of cliffs. I saw it fly out of my boat one time had to go about 20 miles to turn around and go get it. But I got it. Crazy cause I have stacks of them but that one is special. Like the metal tip that makes a soft clink on rock. You make some nice uns though.
