Whatcha Got That’s Old?

[Ians 17/22]

I have no idea the date of this 2 Reale. I found it with my metal detector in my old town of Dover, Ok. where a sidewalk was rooted up by equipment tearing down a burned out building.

This stone ball is a complete spheroid found while metal detecting digging for a silver quarter in the area called The Deep Duece where Bricktown is now.

My wifey took it to the Antiques Roadshow in Tulsa. The experts said it was a rock ball made by Ancient Indians, not the Plains Indians worth about $100.

Not a perfect sphere and the surface feels like sandstone but does not come off. You know how a dirty potato feels before washing it, that is how this feels to the touch. It's freakin heavy.

Like I said it is not a perfect sphere so it wasn't made by aliens.

I have this CS Osborne head knife stamped Newark,NJ. They moved to Harrison on 1914 but used up the previously forged stock. So at least 100 years old. Rings like a bell when struck.

I have gobs of old hunting, shooting, fishing stuff - just gobs and gobs. Not to confuse you all, those books are not the picture, that old cleaning rod in the corner is.

I received this from my steps dad's estate, I have two of them and wish both were full of that era's coins! They obviously are hand made out of a tin can and probably soldered?
