Walking a field


What a gorgeous day.

Yesterday my dad and I spent the morning together for a belated Father's Day.  Dad and my husband have been building a playyard for the kids out in our yard so I've seen him every day but this was the first time we could get out when the field we wanted to walk was ready (plowed, disced and rained on). Looking for arrowheads and artifacts is something my we always did together; my mom, dad and I and my grandpa when I was younger. My dad and I still enjoy it. 
You just walk along carefully between the rows and look at what's sitting on top of the ground. It's a nice way to get outside and gives us a couple of good hours to talk. 


We did find one!

  1. Wow, we (Netherlands) only used to find these old clay pipeheads or parts of it. An arrowhead seems more interesting.

    1. It's funny, we never find pipes! I wish I had one!

  2. Yay you! A walk with dad and a find as well. You must have a collection of these since you've been at it so long. Any idea how old it would be?

    1. Oh, goodness we do have quite a pile of them. I don't know about this style of point, I think it's a later style. Later being subjective, there is a major site south of us (Meadowcroft_Rockshelter) that was inhabited 19,000 years ago!
