I've spent my whole life watching my dad. His favorite past time, ARROWHEAD HUNTING. Living in Florida, I think it was an interesting thing for him to do given the history of native Americans inhabiting the area. He did it to relieve stress, I think, clear his mind of the burdens of fathering daughters (We did give him hell most of the time.) At least once a week I'd wake up to the sound of his keys rattling as they dangled from his belt while he hustled to get to his "dig site" after a big rain. "I'm going diggin'," he'd say, and I'd look forward to seeing what he came home with.
What surfaced after those rainy weeks when the earth was washed and the dirt was up turned was the tools of the ancient inhabitors, arrowheads, Newnans and Clovises, the occasional flint or shark's tooth.
These things were magic like time travelling tools, pieces of history that I could hold in my hand and know how the first people that lived in my area got through life.
I always knew these things were special and worth looking for and collecting.
The hobby has grown tired for him now though, being up in his years, I suppose he prefers not to throw out his back weilding a shovel, or maybe he just doesn't get the same thrill he used to when trying to out run the game warden or the usual hard hatted trespassing vigilante.
So now I have the task of liquidating the assetts. I tried ebay. I am a failure there I think. Any suggestions.
