what i hope was a great day

[lee]

first off did thay make arrow heads out of lead ? coz if so i think i found one with the leather binding still atached and its bloody loverly !!!.
also found 11 wheat pennies dating from 1909 to 1953 , a silver pendent , what looks like a ladys compact , another neat little box thingy with an N on the front , a key , $4.00 in clad , a thing with glass in both ends like a mini teliscope , an ice hockey badge.......hang on...i keep having to run to the other room to make sure i listed every thing...and a button.
the arrow head was found directly behind where the pequot massacre took place in 1637.
when the wife gets home and tells me where shes hid the camera ill take some photos.
also in the same place the day before larry found a ct copper and i found 2 the day before that bringing my total for the year so far to 16 coppers .....bloody hell this is turning out to be one great year and it aint even started yet realy.

anyway if del or anyone can shead light on the lead arrow head i would be greatful .

[coinhunter]

Looking forward to the photos,another great hunt Lee. Does anyone have an idea what people did with the state coppers coins after the US Mint was created in 1793. Did they just throw them away or melt them down. Lee ,16 coppers that's great, a lot of good memory s. :clapping:

just a little add on.
it apears i found a bit of a cosmetics bundle yesterday , with the valeze compact i also found a manly and james iodin box and what i thought a first to be an old mini telescope turns out to be a lanvin perfume bottle inside a metal handbag holder from between 1890 and 1946 ....and heres a fun fact....lanvin turned into....wait for it....wait for it......GAP !!! as far as i can work out.

very nice finds Lee :clapping: :clapping: , what is it exactly thats wrapped around the arrow head piece ( it almost looks like a wire or similar to it ) .

[lee]

thin strips of leather del

[Cheap Thrills]

Those are some great finds Lee . I've never heard of Lead Indian arrowheads but I guess it's possible or maybe it could have been a modern archer with a bit of imagination . Great history lesson there Lee . I wonder if Helena was the Lady Gaga of her day ?

[jkress]

Awesome find Lee. :clapping: I can't wait to hear what Del will have to say, but
you just might have yourself one heck of a find. :shocked04:
