Walkin the creek bank.
« on: August 15, 2011, 11:12:55 am »
Checked a small field plowed field above a small creek on Sunday. I found lots of hide & shaft scrapers. Flint flakes by the thousands. These are the only points I was able to find. The two pieces that fit together were found about 50 yrds apart. My son dropped the tip & it broke into 3 pieces. They have 2 differant patinas & the tip has some attempts to salvage. This is my second point find both halves. I have found the tip & base of a knife with the center still missing.

Cool find! I have yet to find any artifacts.

That is a cool find. I've never found two that would match. Seems like all down in the country if your in the right place theirs artifacts all over the place. Up north a little ways - west of Gtown i found half a bucket full of bifaces and cores on one place. Not to mention lots of flint :D.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Cool artifacts! Just wondering if anyone else ever thinks about or does thin points found? I never did until I started knapping. Haven't done it just wondered
