I like water

Still sharp. Killer example of a white quartz Wading River point which would date it anywhere from ~1,500-5,000 years old. Found a few days ago.

“I’m going to build where no one can bother me” he said after the government seized his land to build Fort Wetherill. And up went Clingstone a few hundred yards away.

NY Times once said the house was ‘legendary for its parties’ in the 1970’s & the second owner’s sister said Clingstone was ‘no place for a woman’.

“I fear that my two [ex] wives knew [Clingstone] was my true love” the late owner wrote in an update for his 50 year college reunion.

I hope someone who partied here in the 70’s finds this post.

Just looking for lobster, sorry to bother. #nature #photography #ocean #art https://video.nostr.build/d649e90778db97d93b2774c1569dbf65b8cb2cbb8f21c623f65bf37988039d82.mp4

Art takes many forms. Some art is simply for the sake of it, some art is functional.

I found this Native American projectile point this past April in Massachusetts, a relative stone’s throw from where the Mayflower landed. It’s estimated to be several millennia old, from the archaic period.

Similar to the point I found yesterday and shared on Damus, I help but wonder it the person who created this tool also considered it to be a work of art. Or was it simply functional? In any case, I’d bet they were proud of it.

Let me know if you’d like me to share most stuff like this on Damus. Still new to the platform…

It is surreal. Such a direct human connection from holding it, but such fundamentally different experiences & worldviews held by the creator vs the finder millennia later. My mind goes in loops on this stuff…

Still blows my mind that there are surface finds out there. I only got into this stuff in the past year

Found this Native American point today in Massachusetts at a site known to have had humans as early as 12,000 years ago, pretty much right when the glaciers receded, leaving grasslands that mastodons & mammoths grazed on. Humans hunted said megafauna in same area. Based on point shape/type, this was likely formed by a human 8,000-10,000 years ago. And it was tumbling in water and dirt for millennia, until 2 hours ago. #history #naturewalk #usa #artifact #newengland #paleo #nature #hobbies https://video.nostr.build/45d8ab64d3635147950d993c630ddae39f0348e5c13c1223d748866f7683e336.mp4

Sunrise pulsing through the waves in Massachusetts this week, as striped bass head south in the shallows. Posting this here first. #NortheastUnderneath #nature #photography #drone https://video.nostr.build/6957d2dc783440c110f654ee825c97c1fea58853f7f361d61111da9766901e69.mp4

Took this footage of a great white shark in Massachusetts last week. Mature adult, one of three I saw that day. Note the scratches on this shark…any guesses what those are from? https://video.nostr.build/af10a1b8444692887426ec56e7c7ee0514ccc621bb26a7735c8a2d23ef2e872c.mp4

First post showing life beneath the surface. Mostly New England. I am a Freediver, world record spearfisherman, and overall regular guy who likes water. #firstpost #charlielikeswater $boost #growstr #nature #ocean https://video.nostr.build/5fe8561b58da00de32c4d6384d2e0439d49fbd9a71c9d815cec59234eb775068.mov
