Too Little Too Late - Treasure Found!!
Guess what?
One of the treasures I mentioned in previous blogs has been essentially located...or, rather, there are some researchers/treasure hunters already ahead of me, hot on the trail of the cache.
I mentioned this lead in my posting here.
I can give more details now that there is someone else on the case, and are advanced in their seeking what is literally a mass of over 200 antique weapons, including antique guns, knives, trade axes, etc.!!!
This is a historic find, and literally is a part of Western Canadian History. Now, due to the location of this find, should I have gone after it and gotten there before the current researchers, I would have been only the finder, not the keeper of this historic weapons find.
Instead of me simply regurgitating information, I suggest you read the article here.
And that is what can happen when you do not follow up your leads in a timely fashion!

A Real Heavy & Rock Solid Lead - Treasure Lead #11
I know of a barn that was built using stone hammer heads.
And I don't mean the hammers were literally used to pound in the pegs into the wood....
I mean the heads were used as building materials for PART OF THE BARN!
Turns out the farm site chosen by the settlers was littered with countless stone hammer heads!
So common and numerous were they on the landscape that they used them as part of the foundations for the barn they built!
Imagine, hundreds of ancient stone hammer heads, used as construction material!
