RE: Last Thing I Expected - 6/5/2005 1:51:54 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline any input is appreciated... This next object was found by me on a jobsite in Elizabethton TN....I showed it to the Super and he told me to keep my mouth shut or else they would shut down the site...even though the dirt it was found in was being brought in from elsewhere in dump trucks....never did learn where that was.

I'd say the pestle was probably picked up with the rest of the rocks out of the farmers field . Look around in the pile and you may find the mortar to go with it. I have found many mortars in and around bluffs here , and hardly never find the pestles. I had permission to look in some valley fields here near a large creek every year when they plowed in the Spring. The fields were several 100 acres and you could roam around in them all day without covering them completely . I usually went with 3 other people ... me myself I found over 700 perfect arrowheads and a large ice chest full of broken points ...from Spears to birds. And also several broken fluted points , which are really early....I think at least 10,000 years if I remember correctly. It took me about 3 years to accumulate the 700 points . The field owner said that people used to come and camp at Her fields and spend their vacation looking the fields over for arrowheads. The Indians must have spent many a moon in this area. Because you can still find arrowheads to this day in the fields after a Spring plow! Makes me wonder with all I found in 3 years how many points were in this field.....unbelievable to say the least !!!! I'd like to see your Pistol in person........did you find it in the rock pile also ? Brian _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

RE: Last Thing I Expected - 6/5/2005 4:38:57 PM    Pettydigger Posts: 189 Joined: 1/2/2005 From: Southern Iowa Status: offline Hey tha pistol is a neat find, I agree on the fossil being a sort of snail or something from the water. Even her in Iowa we find sharks teeth in creeks, I know it sounds crazy but it is true. You never know what you will find being out searching for bottles/rocks/fossils/marbles/and other great treasures, it is always cool when you find that certain something that has been buried in the earth for ages. Some axe heads/celts. Lotsa miles! Attachment (1) (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 27

RE: Last Thing I Expected - 6/6/2005 12:32:40 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline BRIAN..I too used to walk freshly plowed fields looking for arrowheads/points..I have less than a 100 though. Bottle diggin' was more rewarding, in many ways... If I was going to Knoxville, I'd bring the pistol for you to take a gander at... I could mail it to you...?? It did come from the same rockpile as the pestle and petrified wood....didn't find a mortar... PETTY..nice collection of artifacts...thanks for sharin'... < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 6/6/2005 12:31:06 AM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: Last Thing I Expected - 6/6/2005 2:31:49 PM    lexdigger   Posts: 929 Joined: 5/31/2005 From: Lexington, Ky. Status: offline Intresting thread guys! Especially the Axes!!! Those are all cool, including the one found in the dump. I agree that it was probably tossed there with the rest of the bottles and stuff due to the rust looking buildup. You should be able to scrub it with a toothbrush or scrub brush under water without damaging the stone or polish at all. I've collected native american artifacts for about 10 years and am just now getting into bottle digging... I'd like to see more pics of any arrowheads or hardstone tools you all have found!!!

RE: Last Thing I Expected - 6/6/2005 3:58:34 PM    BRIAN S.   Posts: 1471 Joined: 5/27/2003 From: The Mountains of Tennessee Status: offline Bottlejunkie .... I sold the 700 several years back .... for a 1.00 a piece ! Dumb me ! LOL Wish I had them back now ! But , I still have a few hundred left and I will post a pic as soon as I get a chance to dig them out and get some pics. I gave the broken fluted points away.....all were the back half... never found any tips. It was 3 Cumberlands and a Clovis . I'll look to make sure , but I think I gave them all away.
