Awesome Finds!

We suspected that you had been sneaking out to the field, and are glad that you found some really rewarding artifacts.

You haven't posted a lot this past year and were worried that work was keeping you tied down.

Big shortage of help up here isn't there? I lost a concrete finisher to serious health issues recently and have getting my butt worked off too. I feel your pain Lars. There is no body to hire.

The bone with the holes, is that a arrow shafts or what

Those are called Shaft Wrenchs if I'm not mistaken. Used to straighten the Arrow Shafts I'm sure.

hey hey monster

yup that is an arrow shaft wrench.......some had 3 or 4 holes in them.............the part of the shaft that needed straightening would be moistened and then heated....
then the shaft was immediately placed through the hole and pressure applied with the wrench and dipped in cold water to straighten
.....it seems like whenever we find one it is broke across one of the holes

yup yup reap just what i said....they are always broke lol "arrow shaft wrench"
