2019 marks my tenth year of collecting artifacts in Ohio. I have a meager cabinet of field finds and a few bottle displays for my time.
I won't bore you with every flake, jar, and bauble but I thought a few of my best might show the newer guys what is still out there to be found. Here is a baker's dozen of artifacts, including points, game ball, and scrapers. They all have a story to tell and each one made my day when they were discovered.
Two that might merit a close up made from Carter County flint.
I like my glass so here are some hand finished cork tops and a couple trilobites pictured with a clay and "moonie" marble.
A few pieces of metal I have scrounged for the metal detectorists in the group.
Most of the time, the plow has done its damage but now and then a gem turns up. To touch a piece of history and reclaim it from the dirt is one thing I never get enough of. Happy hunting and good luck out there. fldwlkr

I keep most of it in the back room, with the exception of the emerald and cobalt glass, which the wife also enjoys. Doing my best to keep it a display and not take it to the "hoarder level". Don't give them all away... keep the good stuff.
