personal finds, 2008

[unitas]

I had a great year hunting arifacts.Gathered below are my favorite finds of 2008.
I was able to find artifacts from many time periods but my favorite finds were
from the contact period. I still can't get over the trade items found this year.

First up ,celts---The large one was actually found in a dilapidated barn.





Points





Hafted scrapers, Chalcedony point



Preforms, blades



My favorite flint finds



Silver trade brooches



Earwheel & trade silver



Various gun parts.



Close up of side plate. Notice the shield with the bow and arrow motif.
Very likely a gun meant for trade with Native Americans.



1834 cent



Thanks for looking, hope everyone has a great 2009., UNITAS

Excellent year. You found a little of everything it seems. 3 hardstone celts to boot. I hope your 2009 is just as productive. Thanks for the year end review. John

You had a very good year unitas. There are some very nice pieces in there. We don't find the historic items like that down here in southern Ohio. Of course, they may be here and if I metal detected I might find them.

I had a very good 2008 as well and I plan on putting on post showing my yearly finds real soon.

Thanks. All the metal items were found with a detector except one. I surface found the first brooch
which led to the use of detectors because there had to be more where that one came from.
Looking forward to your post and congrats again on that axe.

We have northern Ohio covered. The artifacts don't stand a chance.
