🥇 BANNER Holy cow artifact!

[oldmxrat]

Been in a bit of a slump with the detector lately, nothing but clad, caps and tabs. Decided to change things up a bit and go look for artifacts. Called a permission a few hours away to see if the ground was clear, and he said it was so off I went. Was having an okay day and finding a few decent points when I spotted this tip sticking up from the crust. Tried to give it a little wiggle but it was in there solid. I was hoping for a whole point maybe an inch and a half long and not broken. I just about soiled myself when I pulled up the biggest Elko knife I've ever found! Thanks for lookin'
Okay, here it is backlit...

Man what a pristine point! What kind of ground was that found in? looks like a mud flat.

Yep, the edge of a small mud flat. I've found several nice points there over the years.

Stunning! What a good eye you have to spot that. Whether your searching for points, fossils, or metal artifacts in a plug - having a trained eye is priceless.

It's never too late too give a nod to a recovery.
It's actually a very fitting time to see this one again all lit up for the Xmas season.
What a beautiful tree it is, still amazed at this beauty.
Thanks for bringing it back to life Bart.
