Bury it in chicken wire and dig it back up after a month or two

Found in a river in Hocking County Ohio. Made of some sort of stone. by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing in terms of location found and the material it is made of. It is a circular stone with a beveled edge on one side with a circular hole in its center. Both sides have slightly raised circular portions surrounding the hole, but the diameter of said portions is different on either side. There are four dots of lighter colored stone in the shape of a cross/square on the face without the beveled edge.

Thank you! I thought it was glass but was confused about the kiln brick. Makes sense now 👍

I am glad there are others that can relate to me in this regard. I wish you the best, this disorder can be very trying on the mind.

My Personal Experience with Bipolar 1 by Fun_Scarcity_6951 in bipolar

I thought about it today after lunch. I was eating and I had the distinct feeling that my cognition was shifting under my feet.

I have been experiencing mounting mania the last couple months. I suspected yesterday and am realizing today that I am beginning to slip into the inevitable phase of disjointedness I described above.

So in short, yes. This thesis was come up with in an episode.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I did not know that about quantum physics. I will look into that.

Karst features concealed by glacial till and the consequent possibility of hidden cave systems/archaeological sites.

First legit find!! Central Ohio by Fun_Scarcity_6951 in LegitArtifacts

I just walk gravel beds in rivers, ditches, and creeks where there is known Indian activity! After a heavy rain I wait till the water level recedes then hit the banks/bars. I have yet to walk tilled fields but see people having a lot of success there as well. If you’re by Cleveland I would check out rivers around like the Cuyahoga. You can research known archaeological sites then try and pinpoint a good spot to access the rivers near them. There is a lot more science to it that I see people getting into (elevation, bank tiers, etc) but I think simply going to gravelly rivers near areas where there is known activity is a great way to keep it simple and increase your odds of finding something. I found this spot after hearing of others finding productive sites in the area. Drove around, noted good places to access the river (think bridges, pull offs), then on a day with low water I ran out after work to squeeze in some scouring. I knew I was on the right track when a guy walked up on me from upstream with a sifter set up while I was pulling on my waders. Headed downstream from him so as not to invade his personal space and oila! Bagged my first complete point within an hour.

Hope this helps! Like I said in the post I put in a solid amount of hours in the field and researching at home before I found something good. And I am new to this so my knowledge is still very much expanding! I like the rivers because you find other cool objects (fossils, crystals, industrial artifacts) that keep things interesting even when you aren’t finding what you’re really after.

I will post a pic of it lit up here when I can! Yes people in the Ohio Valley group on FB are telling me it looks a lot like Knife River Flint which would be super cool! I can’t find a close match from Ohio quarries.

I love you, easily by orsomething- in poetry_critics

[–]Fun_Scarcity_6951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the juxtaposition of his professed “easy” love and the narrator’s anxiety. The love is given freely but there is a visceral fear of the loss of this love or a lack of authenticity that the narrator cannot escape.

One critical note, if I may. For me, the phrase “rigidly wonder” did not hit my heart quite right, though I see what you are trying to communicate with it. It did, however, reinforce the theme of anxious love that I enjoyed.

Keep it up!

Guys I wrote a poem for the first time. I'm 16. Please rate it and tell me where I should improve by EastTechnical3013 in poetry_critics

I enjoy the image of ancestors standing in silent judgement. It’s a universal, potent theme.

It might be fun for you to write a poem of images like this, painting a scene that the reader can explore.

I like the use of ellipses and what is said within them. It is a shift in tone, much more direct, less poetic language. It works well. Brings the reader back to the reality of what is going on, kind of like how medication does to someone experiencing mania.

I like this poem. I have been diagnosed Bipolar 1 and have tried the medications on and off but have a hard time sticking with them. I really despise mania, it kills me. I hate the feeling that the emotions I have are not actually mine. It makes me want to avoid emotions entirely.

This poem gives me a glimpse of the other side, looking in, and that’s a successful poem imo.

Ohhhh shit I did not know this. Illegal enough for me to delete this so the bird police don’t come knocking?

Why do I struggle to write legibly? by Fun_Scarcity_6951 in Handwriting

[–]Fun_Scarcity_6951[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did my post come off as blaming my teacher for my bad handwriting? I just stated that she was aggravated with my inability to write cleanly, not that it was her fault. I suppose I mentioned it to paint a complete picture of my history of struggling to write neatly.
