FOUND: 1000+ year old relic and crashed airplane parts!

[SkyPirate]

The other day while walking my dog I found an old overgrown road in the woods. today I went back to detect it. There was an area that had a bridge over a stream. The bridge is long gone and nothing remains of it so I thought this might be a good place to start. Without searching the water all I found was a shotgun shell and a pistol cartridge. I walked downstream searching the gravel bars with no luck. I looked down and saw a triangle shaped stone. It was my first arrowhead! I was very excited! I walked a different area back to the car and stumbled upon some parts of an airplane that crashed a few years ago.

Did it look like the area where the plane crashed? If thee is any doubt, then you need to report it.....perhaps noone ever found
the downed plane. My cousins and I did that when I was a kid.....up on the mountain behind the town where I lived. Was hiking and going cross country, and found part of the fuselage of a downed Cessna. Reported it, and sure enough, it had gone down several years prior, and even the deer and elk hunters hadn't stumbled across it. Probably very important to any
relatives of whomever was in the plane.

Someone who lives nearby told me they found parts in the past and found out it was known to have crashed a few years ago. I think these are parts that were lodged in a tree at the time of the clean up and were never retreived and finally blew down. There was nothing else around.

Sounds like a good hunt! I have almost no knowledge about arrow heads but would like to know how you determined it's age? I am assuming that is the relic you are referring to in the title!

My cousin crashed in the rugged mountains near the Grand canyon 8 years ago, the crash happened on Thanksgiving, the plan was not found until early summer due to snow etc. Their bones were scavaged by wild animals, but enough to bring back for burial.

I remember hearing about that on the news. Sorry for your loss. That is a terrible thing to happen. All of arizona's mountains are very rough areas. Miles and miles of just raw desert make it hard to locate planes and lost hikers.
