Findings

Yesterday afternoon, in warming temperatures, I took a two-mile walk along the road and then across the open prairie near my house.  As is always my habit, I kept an eye on the ground in hopes of spotting a pretty rock or maybe an arrowhead. 

I regularly find pretty rocks.   Over the years, I have found four or five arrowheads out here—the last about five years ago.

Yesterday, way out in the exact middle of nothing, I found two unusual items: a live cartridge for a 30-06 rifle and a golf tee.

The cartridge can be easily explained by the presence of hunters during deer hunting season. 

The golf tee is a mystery.

You don’t see golfers out on the prairie.
