POW Finds & Copper Culture Beach Finds & Terrible Live Dig Video

[WawaDuane]

Not a very productive few days....weather has been very unpredictable....but I go out anyways.


My copper culture beach is definitely drying up...nothing exciting at all.





Back to the POW camp....it to doesn't give up much this week.





I searched in a ladies garden for her missing bracelet...came up with these finds. Might be an older area where she lives for sure.




This live dig video is worth the watch.

I don't know what that horseshoe looking thing is, but I like. Have to wait until I get home to watch the video.

I pulled this from another TN thread - this is just one of the replies in the thread...

Solved: How do you date horseshoes? (Feb 27, 2012, 11:30 AM)​

The information that was provided was found in the book: Artifacts of Colonial America by Ivor Noel Hume. (Don't shoot the messenger-call the author!) As noted, dating horseshoes is difficult at best. As with any hand-made item, the maker has the liberty to make it as he/she wishes. A current gunmaker could easily produce a flintlock rifle with all the early fixtures, but it obviously would not be old. Same thing with an ancient spear/arrow point. All one can do is go with the professional studies that have been documented and make your best guess.
