i have a detector and a small tin of old coins and other metal stuff i found in my yard, Three rings, one is a very old silver ring that is a cross with Jesus, it turned sideways, the long part of the cross goes around the finger. On our family homestead i found an axe head which my dad cleaned up and re fitted a handle, unfortunately it cracked along the weld one day while i was using it. I've found some cool stuff around the country with it including arrow heads lol as your eyes are always watching the ground you find all kinds of non metallic items.

In my book it appears to be a Dickson point and 2000 is about mid point of when they were made 1500-3500 some of them were heat treated. Very cool point.

Leather Stool Seats

No problem friend anytime. -
i love natural history in all forms. Ive been watching a show called time team, its a bunch of Scottish archeologists, who spend three days digging sites. they aren't very good at it due to the time line they work in and spend most of the time drunk i think but they are funny to watch and do dig up some good information and history about Ireland, Scotland and Briton. There are several places here in Wyoming that you can go and dig for dino bones and fossils, Fossils of invertebrates or fish can be kept but bones and such are illegal. I have found fossil bones, fish scales, leaves etc. I find many on the surface lol. When i was a boy my dad had an archeologist friend down in the four corners region. His house was full of pottery and bones that he was working on. the coolest thing i ever saw was a 1000+ year old baby he found, still in the papoose and still very much mummified. The hair skin and clothing was all still remarkably well preserved as well as the body. That was in the 70s and laws have changed now the native tribes wont allow their ancestors remains to be dug. I'm sure his life's work has all been reburied.

Building a leather inventory to maximize efficiency and variety
chuck123wapati replied to Tjohnson's topic in Getting Started
yes some patterns do but usually not that close in thicknesses. some liners aren't even leather. he needs a definite idea of the pattern he intends to make first off. -
i cant wait to see it.

chuck123wapati replied to Tjohnson's topic in Getting Started
make stuff that uses the same thickness leather. you can do that easily enough with wallets, tags and such. you specd variations of less than one mm. pick the mid thickness and go with it. -
that is cool, how would it work? would you transfer it to a piece of leather?
