Have yet to find any Native American artifacts. there's a guy on the MD forums I frequent who found a solid copper axehead at the beach of the canal that leads to Lake Superior up here. Found it on the surface mixed in with rocks in a brook that trickles into the channel. (in reply to madman) Post #: 9

RE: indian artifact - 2/1/2012 9:55:58 PM    Plumbata Posts: 1660 Joined: 12/4/2007 Status: offline That's a fantastic find Madman, were you digging in a dump? If so, then finding both on the same day leads me to believe that someone's artifact collection got thrown away. The axe was easy to spot, sure, but there may have been other points in the area that you overlooked. Do you have a sifter to go back there with?

RE: indian artifact - 2/8/2012 6:13:11 AM    sandchip Posts: 1647 Joined: 9/1/2008 From: georgia Status: offline I've collected Indian artifacts for 25 years and never found a grooved axe, much less a full grooved axe, the oldest and rarest of your utilitarian axes. You did great! _____________________________ Jimbo (in reply to madman) Post #: 13

RE: indian artifact - 2/8/2012 6:59:31 AM    harold   Posts: 20 Joined: 7/10/2011 Status: offline Sounds silly, but I have found several in old stone walls in Conn. The old timers didn't collect relics. But did use the axes for filling in stone walls. (in reply to sandchip) Post #: 14

You don't know how many artifact hunters have searched for Years and have never found a complete full grooved axe. They just don't show up that often and are usually only ever found on specific types of sites. Even more rare down in Kentucky and Tenn since the rock it's made of is a Glacial material from up North. I've been a Hardcore arrowhead hunter for close to 20 years and have only found Four out of Thousands of rocks. It's definitely one to be Proud of! (in reply to sandchip) Post #: 16
