Grandfathers Axes

[Johnny X]

Here are some of my grandfathers better axes and celts from Flint City. The big black granite full groove weighs over 10lbs. It was found about 2/10ths of a mile from our main site, down the bluff. The smaller 3/4 groove has the best polish we've found up there. Also another big 3/4 groove and a nice little Celt. Interesting story behind the full groove. The first artifact my grandfather found when buying this farm was a big Metate in his hog lot. He cleaned it up and put it in his living room. They're house caught fire and everything was a total loss. The cold water from the fire hoses just obliterated the Metate. Cracked it into pieces. A year to the day of the fire my grandfather was digging a water line and out came that huge axe.

Killer Johnny X. Sorry about the fire and glad he was ok. I imagine that was some fire pop on that stone. Looks like the gods were smiling at him though with the axes. They are museum quality. I hope you keep them in the family for generations.
Thanks for the view of artifacts from the field that keeps on giving!

Nice stuff Johnny. The story is cool also. I hate to hear of homes catching on fire. Still, the coincidence of that axe being found a year to the day! Odd! I do not believe in coincidence. I think a larger power replaced his artifact

Thanks guys! I often wonder what's underneath the rest of the farm that isn't plowed...
