Some more after work FINDS!(Silver,gold,toy car,arrowhead,foreign coin spill,neatpin)

[TommNJ]

Here are my latest keepers from my after work hunts at various places mostly parks and schools. My favorite find is the arrowhead which is the first one I “EVER” found. The strangest find was all the scattered francs & schillings dating from the late 40s in a 4’ x 4’ area in a wooded section of a park, 21 coins in total. Some were on top and some in the ground about a inch or two deep? Some are cut and bent so I thought maybe a lawn mower unearthed a small cache but the bronze one (1951 20 schillings- bent) shows no signs of oxidation(?), I thought I found my first gold coin with that one (silly me), too bad the majority of them are made from aluminum but still a cool group of find. Also I found a smashed 1971 class ring, there are cracks where it is bent and I cannot make out the initials yet maybe I’ll try to straighten it out a little to be able to read them. My latest find was the neat pin and in its one piece!

Thanks for looking, stay cool and HH. TommNJ

Halito TommNJ,
I sent a photo of your arrowhead to a friend that I know is an expert on knapped relics. I'm sorry if I got you overly excited about your find. All in all, it's still a find that I would have been proud to make. Here is what my friend has to say about it:

It’s not a Clovis. At most, it could be a re-worked Clovis.
Clovis are not a notched point. Most likely it’s a concavity
that was never fully worked out, (flake scars across it). Not
that it needs to be worked out, ‘they’ didn’t worry about things
like that. Modern knappers ‘obsess’ on removing all of the
"old" original surface, running flake scars over it, making
it "all" their work.
Interesting piece indeed. I wouldn’t doubt its authenticity,
but would have to hold it to make that final ruling.
(And rule the re-worked Clovis possibility).

Thanks for sharing!

G.P.

I apologise for any confusion I might have caused.

Love and Respect,

Eagle

EagleDown I appreciate your time and knowledge on the arrowhead and subject, you mentioned some pretty interesting information! I think sometimes you have to know what something isn't when trying to know what it is, if that makes sense. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
