"Found while turning garden this spring in the Appalachian foothills of East Tennessee. What is this thing?"
A: "A knapped flint knife. The handle is probably deer antler, bone would be hollow and too soft. The binding looks to be sinew. It doesn’t seem to be all that old. It’s probably a Boy Scout or survival class project."
Very funny and creative Hiram!!!
I use to work at a resort in Aspen and some of those folks are just as you described.
obviously you are not rich.
Can't be. It is fixed to the wall.
I think Hiram is right.
If tis is really old, the cover should be made of tin, but sometimes it was lead. -> Check it is is tin bevor you use it
