One less item on the bucket list! Trade artifacts.

[thebmasur]

Yesterday I went detecting at a Native American site I have been hitting with good luck recently. After digging some copper points, gun parts (hammer and pan) finding a beautiful arrowhead and some trade beads, I dug this awesome trade axe on the very last signal of the day!! I believe it is a biscayne trade axe due to the shape and the other French items I have found here. I was jumping up and down when I dug it as I have dreamed about finding a trade axe for awhile!

Those beads are hot to trot! Wampum is, man I wouldn't be able to contain myself. The hawk though seals the deal. Good haul brother!

Very nice finds. I want to see those beads. Put them together, and take an in focus pic, then crop it, so all we see is beads.

Don't be afraid to post a bunch of pics and brag about your finds!

Thanks for sharing and best of luck to you!

If only we knew what it has seen!!! 20" deep holy crap!!! That's ridiculous man. I can imagine how awesome that must've been to dig.
