A few months after some major flooding in my area I decided to take a walk up a creek nearby my home. It's not great, but its the first point I have found in a creek in a long while.
If that is in fact another point in the circled area, All I can say is "GOT TOE BE MO' CAREFUL!" - I wish I had what I've walked over or by and didn't see. Looking forward to seeing what it is! Good luck.
The circled area doesn't look like anything but another rock to me. If you use the in-situ of his original find for scale, that would make the circled piece to be pretty damn large.
Shield!! if you are talking about the barb, notch, part of base and orange looking piece under two other rocks in your circle i agree with you. need to make circle smaller if it is. wish i could do that Terry
Ok. Two more pics. Circled it smaller so you can really tell what I was pointing out. Then I outlined the "point". It very much looks like the flint I find in my favorite creek and really looks like a snyders. If you use the point he found as a reference, the point I think he missed isn't too big. Besides, snyders can be pretty good sized.
If I had missed a possible point, I would be in the creek the very next morning, afternoon or evening. Really curious to see if it is anything or just a fake-me-out.
Shield!! you got what i was talking about. that outline is it, hope we get to see it after he moves a couple of stones point or not, but i steel think point. Terry
I blew up the picture, some liberties were really taken with that "outline" man..lol. It's worth looking at if you're in the area again though.
One of the silliest in-situ pics I have ever taken kind of relates to this. I was hunting a pretty well known site (MY-58) in Mayes County, Oklahoma. The site ranged from Protohistoric to late historic and I found a lot of late primarily triangular points (Shetley, Maud, etc) as well as metal goods, such as tinkling cones and the rare trade point. In fact, I found a LOT of tinkling cones at this site, more than anywhere else. Anyways, I was hunting it about 5 years ago and wasn't finding jack-squat that was good. I saw a cool, very bright, marble laying there and took a pic of it. When I got home, I looked at the image and saw what I believe to be a tinkling cone laying right up above in the it image.....ugggh. The marble took all of my attention!
In the first one you can see the Bone Bead and the Point and the tip right below it in the bottom right hand corner. All I saw when I took the picture was the Bone Bead. I didn't see the Point until I looked at the picture when I got home and I couldn't believe I missed a Point that close to the Bead. It took me 3 trips back to the site to find it again. I had a general idea where the Bead had come from and I walked it 3 times times before finally spotting it and even then I had actually given up on finding after the 2nd trip and was just casually walking the area and glanced over and there it was so I took another in situ which is the 2nd picture.
