ever find an arrowhead or a relic of some kind? I've always wanted to find an Indian arrowhead or anything old like that. Living here in Wisconsin it seems like they must still be around...maybe all the farmers plowed them up already. Who knows.
Ever find anything old and interesting? | |

I have found an arrowhead! Also, antique bottles, old money, old toys, back inthe day people used to bury their garbage in their back yards so theres a treasure trove to be found! I dont know if that was a small town thing or not to bury it in the yard?? ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

awesome!
I've actually considered getting a metal detector to see if I can find anything cool and old. I may be turning into an old man before I even hit 40  | |

it's not anywhere near as exciting as archaeological digs 
when I was a kid all I wanted was to be an archaeologist, but then I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark and all that swashbuckling looked like much too hard work for my delicate constitution 
but at school I dug up some bits of old plates where a house had once stood, as close as I got! | |

We found some old coins (like real old, 11th to 15th century) in my nan's old flat. Sent them to a place in Cirencester to be analysed and they gave us a bunch of info about them. They weren't worth anything though. Also, I once found an old sketch book with watercolor paintings that it turned out were by a distant relative who was on the Titanic (and survived). I scribbled my own drawings in there.

When I was in fourth grade, during a field trip, I found a fossil that was much larger than it should have been.
And no, I'm not referring to Dick Cheney's crotch. | |
