Like to share a couple of photos and my find on Independence day. One is a picture of how I found it and the other is after a overdue bath. Hope you enjoy as ( I know it could not be as much) I did finding it.
WOW Buf, when you learn how to post pics you really do it up right !
Thats a gorgeous find but also a slick insitu memory !I can also apreciate that as it sits you would not know if it was complete, , ,and mostly you cant see that it is a base tang. Everybody finds big blades but the notches are a huge plus.
I had my moment a few years ago and fortunatly did not rip it out of the dirt before taking pics.
To see, back to front pg, on second row of icons at the bottom, click, "BLACK MAX"
See what ya mean about "Black Max". Mine is a smokey Gray. Good Luck digging. Going out this morning hope to find a bucket load. Ah, hell a bucket would be just fine as long as I am digging and enjoying the outside, birds singing and the KILLER HEAT!
