Way cool swampy. You really get into it. Thanks for sharing
the spoils of your hard work and research.
Have you been here? Cool rest stop on I55

Zuma, I do recognize the site.  It is a rest stop from SE Missouri.  The general area is loaded with mound building sites and that is what I think MODOT is trying to give a nod to with the  artificial mounds and the giant steel points.  I agree it is cool.

We may try to do another pour soon.  I am anxious to work on that other blade and copper atlatl weight.      the last pour worked great for four blades but not for the flared blade and the copper bannerstone.  The pour stopped short of filling those two voids.  The blade was partially filled and I am using that to make a knife.  I will post another thread on that when I get further along. 

Thanks for looking and for the encouraging comments.

I tapped around with the blade a little bit recently.  It cuts rather well.  I am curious what it really was used for.
