A possible pencil day ???

bibelot · Apr 24, 2019

Hunting an new farmland permission and out of a plowed field I found this item. My first thought was a home made plumb bob or possible fishing weight but now I think it was a bullet reformed to a pencil. You can see where possibly the point was sharpened at one time.

Hmmm, strange but I agree it looks like it's been sharpened on the end with a pocket knife just as you would a lead pencil. Unique find.

I'm a bit excited about the permissions, bits of clay crock and orange brick broken up everywhere in the field, a ton of iron signals. I pulled a large copper coin, most likely a large cent but the damage is so severe, I didn't have a lot of time there yet as a thunder storm pushed through while trying to hunt it but I'll get back there.

hmm to me it looks like it may be a homemade needle of some sort maybe for leather but who knows.. cool and interesting find !

I have permission to hunt where the Iroquois longhouses use to be. For years he let the scouts in to search for arrowheads, I just haven't taken the time to hunt it yet.Holler if you want to do that, just give me advance notice so I can get a hold of him to let him know we will be hunting it.He gave me permission last year,I haven't taken the time yet.

Dang! That is an offer I can't refuse. I have heard stories of those longhouses nearly my whole life! They mentioned them in school when I was young, and some of the old timers around here would mention it occasionally.

Hopefully we can catch it after the fields are plowed.I'll get a hold of Red and let him know we are interested in hunting it. I'll PM you and we can go from there for a time frame.It'll be nice to meet another forum member. Ivan
