ITS ALWAYS COOL TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I HUNT ARTEFACTS HERE. MOST ARE STONE POINTS AS THE AMERICAS CAME OUT OF THE STONE AGE RELATIVLY RECENTLY IN HISTORY. IT IS ALWAYS A THRILL TO ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING EVEN IF IT IS COMMON OR POORLY MADE. JUDGEING FROM YOUR LANCE HEADS CONDITION IT LAY WITH THE OPEN THINNER SIDE OF THE SOCKET FACEING UP, WHICH COULD EXPLAIN IT BEING BROKEN AND MORE OPEN THAN IT WAS ORIGINALLY. NATURE COVERS AND UNCOVERS THINGS MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS SO ITS POSSIBLE IT MAY HAVE LAY WHERE IT WAS FOUND. A LOOK AT THE SOIL WHERE IT LAY COULD HAVE CONFIRMED IF IT ARRIVED RECENTLY OR HAD LAIN THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE GROUND FREEZING AND THAWING AS WELL AS EROSION CAN EXPOSE BURRIED OBJECTS.
IT IS CRUDELY FORGED USING AS LITTLE IRON AS POSSIBLE SO IT WAS PROBABLY MADE FOR USE BY PESANTS BY A LORD OR PERHAPS A PESANT HAD IT MADE BY THE LOCAL SMITH. IF IT COULD ONLY SPEAK
