    It's always fun to watch what the Chigg is up to. That rounded flattened bullet probably hit something soft but dense, like a body. The exploded shell would look great on the shelf next to an intact shell.

    The nail is a pipe tamper for smoking a pipe. There are two other parts to it, a spike and a bowl reamer. Your T-Tool is a woodworking auger, The twisted part has rotted out because it is thinner,

Good looking creek to be on as well. An yes always look for those native artifacts when on the creek also. I have found alot of them in the days gone by when out on the creeks metal detecting.

    @zw5509 Před 4 lety

    I can watch bullet digging all day long. It makes your imagination run wild. I have a couple of old muskets that I found washed up on the NJ shore, many years ago. The came from a Gun Runner ship bringing arms to the South from Europe. They were obviously antiques even then. Axe marks on the stocks where the guns were broken and thrown overboard when the ship was seized. Anyway, the barrels are really thick like that piece you found. Maybe that is Colonial era?

  • @f.k.burnham8491
    @f.k.burnham8491 Před 4 lety +1

    2:15 Looks like a wedge from a wedge & feather set for splitting rock. 9:31 appears to be the tongue of a wagon or piece of farm equipment. 10:38- Tough one. Could be a spike still in a piece of rotten wood, or the top handle end of a auger.
