  • Proof!!! I am not older than dirt

    A couple of weeks ago, I met up with a fellow member to look for some artifacts. James Laswell met me early in the morning and we took off to find those pesky points. Well as luck would have it, where I wanted to go was not yet ready to hunt. We went on to a few other places but came up with only a broken tip between the two of us. Before James left to go back home he gave me this small Celt. I have been looking at it from time to time and thought it was cool that the person that found it put a date as to when it was found, 1956. Well the other thing I noticed was there was still dirt on the celt. which got me thinking this is cool that dirt has been there all these years. Then I thought that dirt is older than me. :crazy:  :rolf: So now I have proof positive I am not older than some dirt. Just sometimes feel that way after a long day of hunting. Thanks James for the cool gift!

    Cool piece.  I love pieces with dates on them, it's double cool to think about the original user of the piece, and the original finder of the piece.

      Nice gift! From here, it reads 52 not 56, in a distinct script on the 2.

          I agree with Cliff, It looks like 52 which means I am still older than that dirt! :rolf: Very nice gift.

            Nice James!
            Just months older than me, but like the others Chase, I can see it's a 2!
            So no, your not older, but it appears reading glasses have now become a necessity!

              :rolf: And here we could have sworn you were older than dirt.  :whistle:  :evil:
              That was a very nice and thoughtful gift. What a good friend to give it to you. And it sure is a tiny little thing, very nice too.
