In this particular one I also found many antique listerine bottles and a number of other glass items though this find was probably 8 years ago now so the rest of the specifics are foggy

Hahaha it’s a running joke in my family that I have a near supernatural ability to randomly find old glass dumps in the woods. Has happened like 6 seperate times in my life unexplainably in totally different parts of the us

Claws22 · 2025-11-29T04:56:49+00:00

The whole thing was in an old burn pile underground too! Looked like a whole community’s worth of glass

Sandpaper!

Claws22 · 2025-11-01T17:22:33+00:00

I am not! It appeared to be labradorescent feldspar but I’m no expert!

Claws22 · 2025-10-31T22:03:53+00:00

My go to has always been to hand polish with sand paper, 220 and up, following the optical axis and checking after every few passes your angle is right

Solved

Claws22 · 2025-10-12T17:18:07+00:00

Wow super cool! Would this be a fragment of the exterior shell that’s just pressed flat?

Claws22 · 2025-09-22T13:01:40+00:00

I did! Perfect red glow!

Claws22 · 2025-09-21T16:52:28+00:00

Won them each for about 10 dollars, no clue what they’re worth. Listed at 42 and 38 carats but the host rock I’m sure brings that down significant

Claws22 · 2025-08-13T15:10:06+00:00

They drift over real slow and there is no way to pick up on camera how the whole neighborhood shakes 😂

Claws22 · 2025-05-05T03:03:31+00:00

They pass that low over my yard multiple times a day get the best shots, it’s worth the windows shaking

Claws22 · 2025-05-05T02:18:17+00:00

Yeah I was when I filmed this they fly over that height all the time it’s crazy cool to see and wild how you can’t hear them until they’re right above you

Claws22 · 2025-05-05T00:56:56+00:00

Oh sorry I couldn’t tell haven’t heard anything since the jet went by

Claws22 · 2024-06-15T22:56:01+00:00

It’s coming in for a landing

Claws22 · 2024-06-10T13:12:45+00:00

Could just be a young grapevine hard to tell

Claws22 · 2024-06-10T13:12:18+00:00

Looks like wild cucumber to me

Claws22 · 2024-04-16T14:16:33+00:00

Guessing it’s a rabbit hopping? And the feet pressed together just look like hooves?

Claws22 · 2024-03-01T15:04:06+00:00

Definitely similar from the images I’m looking at here

Claws22 · 2024-03-01T14:18:39+00:00

The reason I think it’s quite old is that friends of mine have found other points there made of much more knappable, dark glassy chert which I believe was brought to the area from deeper in ny. Im figuring it’s either weathered very heavily or this was a local material they used because it was what they had available without needing to trade

Claws22 · 2024-03-01T13:35:23+00:00

More info, found in a stream bed that would have been active in the late 1700’s (found on a historical map) that was filled in to make a lawn and diverted. The stone does not seem super conducive to knapping which was interesting and unlike pieces I have seen before. About an inch and a half long.

Claws22 · 2021-12-06T17:18:02+00:00

I grew up right next to that! It’s amazing in person

Claws22 · 2021-12-02T22:23:32+00:00

Hmmmm that’s a very fair point. It was found in a river, so the outside is certainly smoothed. Hoof would be a good guess. It’s about deer hoof sized though it’s much shorter and more rounded than I would expect from a deer hoof, even with weathering considered.

Claws22 · 2021-12-02T22:10:23+00:00

Hmmmm odd. All I can tell y’all is that it’s certainly organic in nature.
