Relic hunting in AR with my Cibola ( PHOTOS )

These finds are not from a battle field or any thing like that . These are some of the items I found in central Arkansas close to some of the first settlements in that area.

There's part of an 1880s iron>>> The Carver Patent "Economist" Revolving Box Iron with Fluter This iron was patented by an enterprising fellow named Horace Carver. It's more rare than a SAD IRON. A "Majestic" by Carver of similar design that was in rough shape sold for $495 on the internet recently but it had all its parts.

There's a couple of musket balls and mini balls. I found these while criss crossing the area looking for hot spots, along with a tom of more modern rounds.

Three old chisels, I believe were used to split logs. These chisels were in a strait line about 8' or 10' apart as if they had just split their last log over a hundred years ago. One reason I believe this is because I have found parts to what I think is a steam powered planner/ joiner at the site. I'm going to see if they can ID some of the stuff at the whatsit forum.

Theres a nineteenth century zinc Boyd's lid for mason jars. ( Boyd's was the first lid to have a ceramic inset ) Patented in about 1880.

There's an old plow point, and an old kerosene lamp part and I'm not exactly sure about the other stuff.

ID if you can.

Where did you find yours :lol:? I found 'em after a friend did a lot of research in the "OR's" And they came from central AR at a camp site that we found mentioned one time. Man were we lucky...d2
 
Ha d2

I live in Bryant.

Do you live in central AR or frequent the area.

I don't know any one around here who MDs.

My only linque MDing is these forums and I think they are great.
 
Hi d2

I missed the first part of your post.

I found those relics from close to Crystal Hill. As I understand it before white people lived in Little Rock, there was a community around Crystal Hill. Also farmers were in the small bottom lands along the north side of the river. There are a few places that development hasn't completely obliterated the sites.

I know of one Civil War camp site, but I've never found anything there.

Civil War relic hunting is high on my wish list.

Good Hunting
