On her 150th birthday year I spent my lunch break walking a field in north St Louis county hoping to find an arrowhead or other artifact.
The field was near the Mississippi river, so it seemed promising.
No ancient artifacts found, but I did find an 1821 dime with a tiny hole drilled it it. I still have the dime, it's 200 this year also.

When I was growing up. I lived near the Red River (in the USA known as the Red River of the North) . The area the Red flows through, both in the USA and Canada had a lot of activity in the past 200 years and beyond....American Bison, Plains Grizzly Bear, etc. ..... tall grass prairie of the northern plains, a number of First Nations, Trappers (French Canadian mostly..a lot from Quebec), hunters, early European settlers, etc.

So it was a 'happenin' area as we used to say in the 1960's. Anyways, I would every so often go down by the river bank and search (ineffectually) for items from history...arrowheads, early coinage...anything. I was not successful in finding anything, but I think that was more to do with my lack of archeological skills as a youngster.

But hope always springs eternal....

That 1821 coin would be a fascinating find in North America. I'm guessing that the fact that it had a hole drilled in the centre of, makes me think that possibly it was attached to a necklace way back when ?

St. Louis and environs is an area rich in history. I think of the Lewis and Clark expedition that set off from there etc.

I just got back about 30 minutes ago. I had to spend the night. My O2 sats drop a bit after general anesthesia.
A fair bit discomfort. Who would have thought that slicing through soft tissue and sawing and hacking away at bone would cause that?

Good to have you back, Jim!
If we lived closer I'd grill you up some ribs for dinner.

I'm still amazed at what medical science can do.

What does the doc think your recovery time will be , approx ?

I was letting loose an involuntary yelp, every time I lifted my right arm past a certain point, before my shoulder replacement. After the op and recovery, I don't yelp in pain anymore. A relief.

Welcome back! You had us a little worried.

Me.... I woke up during my hip replacement.

I could hear hammering and guessed he as hammering the new joint into my femur.

I said " I used to be a cabinet maker, I can help with that."
He turned to the anesthetist and said "put him out."

Doesn't seem to bother the pig when that is done. Maybe you just need to boil the joint for a bit?

Seriously, my wife has 1 & 1/2 knee replacements. While I wouldn't wish the discomfort on anyone (or his/her spouse), I have to believe life is better than the alternative. Hang in there!
