Since its still cold and the ground to hard yet to dig i just went around looking at sites that might have a few good finds like old farm houses that are going to be torn down to build new houses out here this place was ready to fall !! no windows the walls inside were coming down its about 200 years old last i heard a few migrant farm workers live there in the summer but not now its out in the middle of a heavy wooded area completely over grown i guess free room and board ? i stepped inside the side entrance what a mess i think a owl lives there it scared the heck out of me when it flew out the window :laughing7: anyway looking around i saw a scraper sticking out of a pile of sheet rock i picked it up it was a 15.5 inch hunting knife ? i think its got a bone handle the rest is brass i think and the blade it is some kind of stainless or nickle not sure it was a mess it took me over 2 hours to clean the knife and scraper it did not have any rust at all just dirt and mold .
It says on the knife Muelay Cortuero Moliboeno Vanadio Fabricado En Espana ? i dont read Spanish if its not a expensive knife i can always use it as a backup digger i dont know if i can carry it on my belt ? :icon_scratch: .A few pics i put below Good hunting Jim
