Status: offline 		Something I found last night while arrowhead hunting really surprised me. I saw a valley with trees that looked like a good place to check for bottles. The valley was cut from a strong spring coming out of the top of the hill. I looked around the creekbed and spotted a piece of petrified wood, then another, and another. My sis and I hauled about 50lbs. of petrified wood pieces out of that creekbed and never dug at all. This area is the oldest as far as settling here goes, but it's also the most unchanged. It's been farm fields since people settled here in 1805, and mastodon remains were found a couple miles away years ago. I did a little research and found that the basic minimum age for petrified wood is about 100,000-65,000,000 years old. WOW! I'll get some pics.

You can see some of the petrified sap in this one. Looks like grey/brown flint.

Status: offline 		that wood is probably lithic material traded? carried? pretty cool.

and if anyone lives near the NE, check this book out...Typology and Nomenclature of New York State. google it. it gives you dates and the names of point types.

Status: offline 		Here is a pic of a 3 1/2 inch clovis point I picked up from a local collector / dealer. This man has a good reputation for dealing with authentic artifacts but when it comes to clovis points I sometimes wonder about thier origin. Does anyone know where I could get this point authenicated and what the going rate is for this service. Ive seen flint similar to this and I believe it was out of NY.

Status: offline 		NORG,  I found this head, they call a Perkiomen broadhead, last spring. Instead of planting corn again they grassed it over. I also think they sold the land. Talk about one last lucky find!  It's fun to see all these arrowheads and artifacts other people are finding. Talk about some nice pieces. It must be fun finding artifacts in your own garden!

Jim

Hey Justglass, I didn't say I had more important things to do, I said I have things I have to get done. Besides I'm your older brother and I'm supposed to be setting an example for you, (work than play). That nice Otter creek head you found was meant for you whether it had my name on it or not. See you later. There's still a lot more heads to be found!

Status: offline 		Just got word today that some of the petrified wood I found will make its way into OSU Geology Museum.  Apparently the age of 65 million years that I guessed was a little off, it's actually closer to 350 million years.  WOW!  Not only was I the first human to touch it, but when it was a tree, humans didn't even exist.  The guy told me that when the trees were growing, Ohio was somewhere near the equator, and somewhat of an oceanfront area.  CRAZY!

Status: offline 		I've always wanted to find something museum worthy since I was about 8.  It's just cool that I found enough of it for me and them, plus having my name attached lets anyone who sees it know that a Guisinger contributed a little something to society.  I'm happy with that.  I guess petrified wood in Ohio is pretty rare, especially in a concentrated area.
