Yeah, I must have lots of that in my Spanish speaking as well...

Some things I say in Spanish to people who only speak Castilian, throws them for a loop. I've found several words that stumble them. Mostly nouns.

Correct, Barry!!! But if you were to use the proper Castillian word here most wouldn’t know what you are speaking of.

One of the coolest things I ran across in research is finding archaic Spanish words in descriptions. An example would be "Buro". We all today know what a "burro" is referring to the donkey critter. But in some spanish manuscripts it refers to elk!!!! Gives another bend that sometimes makes more sense with location descriptions. Like the Buro mountains in The SW Gila. Not saying that’s what the meant, but it is very plausable.

I hope that dagger is from the Teutoberg Forest, where German tribes annihilated 2 Roman Legions. Good job Germans!

My ancestors in England didn't do so well vs. the Romans.

I went on an exploratory mission last weekend. Took my boat across a lake I’d never been on and picked out a point that overlooks an old creek channel that’s now underwater.

It was ridiculous, dad and I looked for about an hour and found a gallon bucket of chips plus 5 brokes and one whole Gary. Nothing really nice but definitely a pin in the map that will be revisited when we have more time.

Been out half dozen times and haven't found squat. Today I found a damn nice, un-broken awl/drill. This is only the second one I've found that wasn't busted..... Cool colored material, too.

That’s a beauty! I’ve never yet found an unbroken drill, points or handles is all I get.

The boy and I took a boat ride yesterday to a couple spots we know that have stuff if the water is low. Still about 1 foot too high to get to the best stuff but we did manage one ugly little Gary.

Wish I could leave my Newshawk desk and go try to find something.

I’ve never found any arrowheads. I just watch Gateway Pundit all day for 40 years

It's an awl or drill, but I doubt it is a "bit". smile

The cordless drills Indians had weren't very reliable back then.

Very Nice. I’ve never seen any flint like that before.
And I’ve only ever found one drill / awl in 50 years of hunting arrowheads.
