I found a piece of clay that was very old.  It was way more than a shard, being almost half a jug. (This was actually last week end.)

I kept it, cleaned it up slightly, realised that it was ancient, and I am considering turning it over to the "Conner Establishment For Antiquities"  (a local archeological University study determined to locate all settlers from the eighteen thirties in this general vicinity) just to be safe.

I have never before found anything (other than a few arrow heads, spear heads or coins), that could possibly be considered significant. I may be completely wrong about this thing, but it is definitely OLD AS FUCK and most certainly, handmade.


I was digging down to create a hole for re-planting a beautiful red maple tree that was out of place and a bit too close to the house. Never imagined that my imagination would go this far over a shovel-full  of dirt.

That's fascinating. If you find out what it is and how old it is, I'd love to know.

That's why I am thinking of making this about a field trip with my son (budding young anthropologist/archeologist, that he is).

Even if it is nothing, the journey to find out will give us a father/son day to remember for all time.

Cool find.

I've got a few arrowheads & such, an Indian nutting stone I dug up while planting. Never any pottery though.

Can openers are like staplers....there are only two types....working splendidly or working just enough to fuck up your attempts badly.

Yeah, I've owned can openers that I could not use at all; fortunately, this one works, so I was able to have pineapple chunks for dessert!
