Indian artifact and neat surface finds

[KyDigNQueen]

It's been quite some time since my last post. I haven't been able to get out at all due to other obligations. We had a good rain today on one of the fields we hunt that was an old 1800s homestead. I decided to just walk and surface hunt. It turned out to be a good day. My first 5 steps I was checking the dirt to see how muddy it was and as I looked down, there it was. My heart always skips a beat when I see the unmistakable workmanship of an Indian artifact. It was my best find of the day. I continued walking, looking for glimpses of history to reveal themselves on the surface after the heavy downpour. I went on to find one big clay marble, a glass marble, a glass stopper and porcelain button? with a wire loop shank. In the photo, I also included some finds that my husband ran through electrolysis for me last week. I was thrilled with how well the two locks, belt buckles and punch came out afterwards. It was great to get out and find something. I was having withdrawl. Thanks for looking and HH!

Love those artifacts.
Back in 2013 I spent an entire summer searching for native artifacts. I must have picked up 20,000 rocks that year (maybe more).
I finally found a hand ax (and yes, my heart almost stopped when I laid eyes on it) and a fossil for all my work (plus assorted junk, old Coke bottles, etc.).

I'm in MD and in my area, the relics are incredibly rare. That's actually why I decided to switch to metal detecting but I still always keep my eyes peeled.
I KNOW there were many Indians here and I'm determined to find at least one projectile point before I die.

Congrats on your amazing finds.,..

Thanks, Garret 424. Keep searching and you are bound to find some. I've been looking for 6 years now and have only found 6 complete points that weren't chipped or broken. Good luck!

Jeepers Creepers, you got some good Peepers. Very nice stroll into that field for sure. Love the point and clay marble. I actually love ALL my eyeball finds while treasure hunting. I get a sense of satisfaction that I don't get when using my machine. Kinda' like "I" found this and didn't even need a machine to help me. Thanks for sharing and glad you got your "fix" on.

Thanks so much, Kurious1. I feel the same way about finding things with my own eyes and no assistance from a machine. My best and oldest coin to date, an 1890 IHP, I found in a crevice left from the tractor. It had rained really good and I wanted to see what would come to the surface in the field. The same field I've found the marbles and points. I still to this day don't know how I spotted that thing in the shadows at dusk. Haha. Guess I do have some good peepers
