 Paul, you need to get your butt back to work :D ;), you're killing me. I saw some nice looking rock in the creek and up in the corn field when I was turkey hunting. I was hurting too much at the time to think about hauling it back. I saw a lot up in the corn field above the camping area that looked like Horse Creek.

Thanks for helping me out Will, this picture thing is driving me insane :o. Most of those i've posted before. Stuff i've done on the road at work. Eddie: the only good stuff we could find was in the big creek down along the property boundary somewhere. I'm still lost out there. Anyway i have a bucket of rocks to work on now :). Thanks all.

CHow do people keep it straight between well made modern points and artifacts. They will have a very hard time telling the difference in 500 years.  I know that 3 of my points are in the dirt somewhere. Cowboy those look great I don't think I could tell the difference.

Thankee John. We were down where the stand of river cane is if that helps. I don't even know my directions - too many big trees ;D.
 Would like to break rock with ya anytime Tower.

 That's where I'm talking about. Drop off the logging road and go through the cane to the gravel bed.

Nice work Paul, They were down where you way laid the Turkeys Eddie, Paul that is south of the cabin. I didn't know there was any good rock there to nap.They gave me 3 killing points of the stuff that came from my place,now I need to kill something with them. I think Shannon was trying some heat of it yesterday,if it works better we plan on heating some of Paul's in the next few days. :)
