There is a black cat that sat on the top of this creek wall on a very cold day. It sat immobile possibly trying to absorb the sun. I wouldn't even flinch when I tossed a dirt clump at it. Kind of freaked me out a bit. It was there for hours.

Old wooden cask in the dirt wall

Mink hole

I spooked a mink out in the open and it dove into the snow, burrowed a bit, then shot out and scampered away. I found this interesting as they use water in a similar fashion.

Screw top bottle aren't old enough to interest me, just junk

Likely a buffalo\Bison bone. I am only interested in finding an intact old skull

I practice with natural materials opportunistically, were and when I find something interesting\useful


Closer to what I look for in old bottles


One of my local haunts


I love old swirl marbles also

Was bummed that the telegraph insulator was a junker

One of my books explained that the native peoples here used both types of local cactus for food. Yes, there is cactus in Canada. If I can find some half decently sized ears I will try to to cook them up outside as a survival food experiment.


Now were are talking, turn of the century light purple glass cork tops.



An unusual find yesterday was a piece of soap stone used by kids back in the pre pencil days for writing on their slates.
