My oldest finds in Arkie Land..... Whats your's?.:.:.:<>:cam:

[tabdog]

You know, people talk about their oldest finds on this forum all the time.

People show things from the 1700's and even older.

I always felt kind of left out because this part of Arkie Land was not settled
by white people until on in the 1800's.

It occured to me that I have found some really old things lost by people in Arkie Land.

See that two tone, white and black arrow head. I was told that, that is a Dalton Point.
9,000 to 10,000 years old. (correct me if that's wrong).

These are my oldest finds in Arkie Land. What's yours?

Hi tabdog nice stuff. I got a dumb ? are arrow heads detectable or are they by sight only

Tabdog, Now those are some really amazing finds. I hope they are in a nice frame and hanging on a wall.

Last year was a good one for weird copper coins how some of them ended up where I found them still has me scratching my head. The oldest is a Maravedis coin from Spain in mid 1800,s it is about the size of a quarter the next is 1897 Queen Victoria cent the next is a 1906 Chinese 10 CASH coin and the last is a 1938 English George penny. My oldest US coins are a 1907 v nickel nice condition. Oldest silver coin is a 1924 mercury dime of which I have found two of. Oldest wheat penny is a 1912 I have yet to find a Indian head or a standing Liberty or a silver dollar but those are still waiting for me out there some where.

here is my collection, I found all of these and a bunch more broken ones and other pieces. but these are the best of them.

 

[tabdog]

That's a great collection.

I think looking for points is almost as much fun as metal detecting.

I think I'll make a trip to a field I been thinking about.

Where or what is "arkie land"

 

[jtram]

Where bouts are you in Arkie land. I knew exactly what you were talking about. I am an Arkie too and just a little north of you if you live in Searcy County.

 

[cjruger]

ya, right now is one of the best times where I live to look, the fields are worked up and some rain has been on them to wash to flint off. I love it too. my dad started me out when I was a kid, then it spread to taking my buddies looking. you can spend hours and only find some chips and flakes. or you can not even me looking and taking a walk with your family and walk right over one and say to your wife: hey what do you think that is right there. She got a kick out of that, I took here a bunch of times looking and she found 1 nice one and a decent broken one. I like to stop before I pick one up and wonder who the last person to touch this piece of flint was and how long ago it was before human hands touched it, before I pick it up.
