A neighbor of mine in Wisconsin would hunt for arrowheads etc in the farm fields after they had been plowed. His blue collar job was as a craftsman for an engineering college, making the unique lab equipment and metal tools needed by professors. As his basement hobby he made from scratch 1700s replica rifles and guns, handmade working clocks, gem perfect snuff tins and pill boxes, etc. Very interesting and skilled fellow who was happy to give a tour of all his latest finds and creations.
