September 2013
Here in north Texas on Labor Day Weekend
in early September we felt an early touch of
winter's cool breath, giving us a bit of rain
from a "cold front" for the first time in
several weeks of hot summer weather.
Soon folks with access to farm lands will
daydream of stumbling across plowed fields
at the end of the harvest after a refreshing
rain cleans the dirt from possible artifacts.
Eyes to the ground, some will be looking for
glints of agate, jasper, obsidian and other
stone used long ago ... the discarded or
exhausted remnants of ancient stone tools,
dropped and misplaced, even stored and
forgotten long ago.
Now, by chance and wind and rain, exposed
to the sharp eye of a modern collector or
hobbyist.
Read, learn, find, enjoy.

From time to time we will look at on line artifact offerings ... from reputable
auction houses, artifact dealers and from individuals through eBay ... with
the purpose of learning how to discern what could well be some excellent
artifacts, with good provenance and history, to potentially add to your
collection. Another purpose is to make available information and methods
which can help you do your "due diligence" research and get as much
information as you can about the authenticity and provenance of the
artifacts which you consider acquiring.
