Once In a Lifetime Find 😲 4,500 BC - Awesome

I arrived at the field on a crisp, cold day, but the sun was shining warmly, making it the perfect weather for metal detecting. I had been looking forward to this trip for days, and I was eager to get started. I was on the hunt for treasures that had been lost for centuries, and I was determined to uncover something special.
My fifth target was the one that would change everything. As my metal detector beeped, I dug into the ground, my heart racing with excitement. And then, there it was. A once-in-a-lifetime find. A beautiful fragment of a polished stone hand axe, dating back to 4500 BC. I held it in my hands, staring in disbelief at the ancient artifact.
I had never seen anything like it before. The hand axe was perfectly polished, and I could see the marks left by the ancient craftsman who had created it. It was a beautiful piece of history, and I felt honoured to have found it.
As I stood there, admiring my find, I felt a rush of excitement and gratitude. I had uncovered a piece of history that had been lost for thousands of years, and I felt like I had been given a glimpse into the past. I knew that this was just the beginning of my journey, and I couldn't wait to see what other treasures lay waiting to be discovered.

The 'lump' on the side of the Chinese coin is where it was broken off a 'tree' - which then too was used for money (these were cast rather than stamped). In Chinese, called, "cash".

[@cassopsnoxdigger614]

[@WestCountryClegg]

[@tonyfenton2554]

When you mentioned muck spreading and dispersal of the "moo tubes" I wonder if they done that back in the day and that would also explain a lot of the coins and relics that we find in the fields as they may of been lost in the barn when working with the animals etc then spread about the fields with the muck etc from the barns and other farm buldings

[@WestCountryClegg]

Lots of people worked on the land in the old days to bring in the harvest

[@richiec9077]

@@WestCountryClegg yeah I know that, everything was done by hand so way more people required on the fields doing the tasks we now take for granted , just thought if they were doing that years back then they would definitely pick up stuff dropped around the barns etc and then disperse it in the fields with the muck

[@MirkoSelf]

Amazing. Congrats and keep doing what you do greets from German 🙌🌱

[@WestCountryClegg]

Thank you! Will do!
