Wagon attack?

IAMZIM · Aug 5, 2018

Haha! Just kidding, but it's was really cool to find an old rotting wagon out in the middle of the prairie! The point looks to be a dull orange agate, the type escapes me though.......found with permission on a ranch in southwest Montana. First real point all year, the place I usually hunt is STILL under water! :dontknow:

I love that wagon! That point is beautiful also. We’re you able to bring the wagon home? I sure could use some wandering around in beautiful country like that!

To find that wagon, to me, is amazing. Whenever I come across something like that (never found wagon remains), I love thinking about it's story, who used it, who left it, why it was left, etc.
Nice find, man!!

Wagon attack? I think it could have happened. Or maybe wild game birds were beded down in the wagon frame and the Indians knew it. Lots of unanswered questions. Nice wagon.Congrats on the find.

Cool point! :thumbsup:

Looks a little like opalized wood? Also that wouldn't be a bad area to metal detect. Remember that they could have buried something just before a possible attack.

I think you are right, after I got home I cleaned it a little, and I think that is what it is as well. Incidentally, I was also out there specifically watching for petrified wood, because I have found some really nice pieces of it out there. My metal detector is broken, but you better believe that when I get it fixed, or get a new one I will be checking it lol!
