As I went about my day I never thought I would see anything other than dirt and shovels. Who would have thought while planting flowers you could find history? While I was shoveling away I hit something that didn’t feel like dirt. As I looked closer, I saw something that was tan.

The only thing that made sense was to think that there were old Indian tribes who had lived there long before. They could have made use of these items as tools in their everyday life. My only interpretation was that it couldn’t have been from any recent time period or any type of person I knew of still existing today. Interpretation is to figure
