Cool old stuff - always nice to look at. I like them coins too. That bottom right base looks a lot like one I found in Laredo. Where did you pick these up?

They were all found in northern IN, at a farm called ... are ya ready??
Indian Hills... The place has been known for decades as an old
native encampment & the local farmers have been plowing up lithics there
since the early 1900`s. A friend of mine knew the owners of the
largest farm in the area & introduced me to him. Permission was granted
to go walk the fields after a rain & got me a few brokes. Now if I`m lucky
in the spring after the plowing`s done, I might find a few better than those
are. The beans are in, but the stubble`s still in the fields, sorta hard to find
anything out there right now. Here`s a couple more...
Unfortunately, the rest of my pics are sized too large to upload here but the best
piece I`ve found out there so far was a unifacial knife, 1 small nick at the backside
from the plow.

Cool! You aughta hook up with Sawfiler sometime. He walks the KY backer fields and finds some nice stuff. Would be nice if we could all get together some time on a hunt. I have a few spots down around San Antonio and there is some VERY nice stuff in there :).

Cool pictures,that looks like some of my knapping. :)

Pappy, your knapping must be pretty good if it looks like those, mine just make me wish I could knap better.
Cowboy, I`d love to have the spare $$ for a trip to Texas, but my better 1/2 says I`ve gotta pay the rent,
electric, groceries, insurance, dumb stuff that gets in the way of a good point hunt. I guess I`ll just have to settle
for the things I can find around here.
Heck, I`ve got family in KY. that I haven`t seen in 5 years or so... maybe I`ll scrounge a few $$ & go south
to find Sawfiler, that`s a lot closer than Texas...

When the timing is right and you know where to look you can find a double handful of points and pieces in a few hours around here.
I'm waiting for some rain right now. There's a couple of fields just up the road that got disc'd up a few days ago. I found several this year in one of them. Can't wait to get back in there!
