Any tooth experts here? I was walking along a pond this morning (hoping to find an arrowhead) and spotted this. I had this pond built about 10ish years ago. This tooth would have been buried under several feet of dirt before that time. It's very heavy, possibly fossilized?
My first thought...
I live in Sioux County, you are correct. Major livestock area and extremely expensive land. Feed lots, large dairies, and hog confinements are everywhere.
I'm a contractor and it's a great place to be for that business, not so great for my land owning ambitions though. I own some land...
I'd be frustrated if I were you. "Good fences make good neighbors" comes to mind.
I like the suggestions about knocking some posts in the ground to mark the boundary. I've done that on a couple properties where there is no fence to mark. It's just better if everyone knows where the line is.
What depth are you guys putting the structure at? I have a rebuilt pond that is slowly filling with all the rain we've been getting, and I'd like to throw some structure in.
That's a good idea in that picture, I may have to copy that.
FYI, I'd never throw barbed wire in a pound. At some point, somebody is going to swim in there.
I did join to ask about a few rocks at one time. I'm way too ignorant to be posting on there but it's really interesting to stop in once in a while and see what people are finding. They are really good about answering questions, pretty active site.
Hard to believe a contractor in 2024 needs to have power on site to build. I rarely see a compressor on a jobsite anymore. The guns are either battery or gas powered, and most everything else is run on batteries. Most guys still run a cord to a miter or table saw but a generator can handle...
$1,000 is an incredible price. If I didn't hate heat , I'd be really tempted to go south for that kind of deal. It's all but impossible to even find pieces that big up here.
Buying wild land isn't just about big bucks. It's an investment that doubles as a way of life.
I rarely light a fire that I don't instantly regret. It always seems to do what i don't think it can.
I still burn but I hate it, I've seen too many get away. I have learned that an atv with a sprayer and boom is extremely effective at stopping a grass fire.
