PocketKnife

[DigItUp]

Normally I Don't find alot of good stuff but today I found a pocketknife. It's about 7 inches with the blade out it's got wood in the handle that started to rot away the tip of the blade is a little rusted. When I first dug it up I thought it was a butter knife until I notice the slot where the blade folds downBut I can't get it to fold down. A nephew and Niece of mine were with me when I found it and like me were real excited. This is my second knife I've found The first I Know belong to my dad it was one of those double blade pocket knife one of the blades were broken though but that's another story. I also found today A couple of chains, a few recent coins, And an On/Off switch that belonged to something i can still switch it. It came a close second to the Knife.

That's why I love Metal Detecting and Archaology whenever you find something like a very old coin or something personal like a pocketknife you're the first person in so many years to hold it you have a connection there you wonder who the person was how did the object get where it was did they try to look for it?
and the excitement when you hear the detector go off and then digging for it.
