Hello folks !!
I want to show you one of my finest and most lucky finds ever.
The story is like this.
I have for many years been seaching for stoneage tools.
One day I was cleaning a bit up in some boxes with broken tools.
I put the differend tools in smal stacks after types.
Now I suddently realized in the stack of brocken axes, that there were to fragments of a very similar type of ax.
But of very different colour.
I didn?t think more of it so I carried on sorting it all out.
When at last putting it all back in the box it stroke me, MAYBE just MAYBE !!!
RIGHT, YES the two fragments fitted together with a click.
They are found on the same field about 50 meters apart, AND 2 years apart !!!
This is luck.
On the pictures you see the ax fracments together with an ax of the same type.
One of my very best (and luckiest) finds:
The two fragments have different colours (patina) because they have been laying in different environments for those 5000 years.
Here the proof that it is one ax, the smal chop-off was made in the making process BEFORE the ax broke.
The brown part is also patinated on the breakage part, which proves that it broke in the stoneage.
One could say that this ax has actually been found 3 TIMES !!
I hope you understand my (danish) english !!
With friendly regards
