[QUOTE=CastlesOfSand]Ok...... this is my first thread!!!!   :cool: I thought I found a white shell...but when I grabbed it, it was a white Arrow Head!!??  That's wild![/QUOTE]

Very cool.  When you find (discover) something like that, it makes you wonder where it came from and what is the story behind that find. :clap_1:  :clap_1:   If it is authentic (have no reason to think it is not), then that is way cool.

Lots of Native Americans used to live around here. They had plenty to eat, including the same fish we enjoy. The arrowhead has probably been buried for a long time and brought to the surface by the storms.
 
They loved oysters BTW. There are great mounds of oyster shells all around the bay, which was full of oysters like Appalachicola before East Pass and the Intracoastal were opened, which drastically changed the salinity level and ecosystem of the bay, killing off the oysters.

Thanks OL!  The little guys are my sweet grandsons Austin and Dylan  :wub: , photo was taken last Halloween.  This year Austin's into Nascar so he's going as Dale Earnhardt Jr.  Not sure what Dylan's going to be this year!

I love the lawyer idea! Interesting that your daughter would pick that; sounds like she's going places! I have three sons (no daughters) and when they were little they always tried to out-do one another with the scary costumes!
