Tennessee Artifact Hunt!! Yeee-Haaa 2-28-10

[Tnmountains]

Boy have I been missing T-Net and artifacts. Watching everyone posting and not having time to go was killing me. We have been flooded all winter but the water dropped and it was 32 degrees when I hitched the boat this morning.Just perfect. There are hundreds of trees down and washing out from the floods. I saw one boat all day and got a picture of his catch. For me it was a great day. I have not even attempted typology on all of these other than being stoked on getting the little Hamilton triangular. I hunted over a 10 mile stretch of friends muddy fields. Please feel free to give opinions on the one particular hornstone point from the insitu. Thanks everyone. Its good to be back !

What we call a turtle back scrapper



Opinions please....


The high water on the banks of the fields.


Insitu and point.

I kept seeing this guy checking his trot line. Stopped and talked to him he had a boat load of catfish.

Total for the day some cool tools.

My best find. Maybe?

Outstanding man, what a haul. Looks like you found your Clovis! Very nice point, is it fluted on both sides? Great triangle and that reddish point is sweet too. Good to see you back, thanks for sharing your hunt. I'm voting banner for that paleo piece.

Nice finds, I really like the reddish point too. Oh, that's a lot of good eating...love catfish.

I have been scared to say that word (Clovis). I have hunted this one point my whole life. I almost missed it and circled back and wormed the boat up in there and could see it before I got out. Its only fluted on one side. I still can't beleive it. Thank you for confirming 37.

I told uniface my goal was to hit true paleo this year I just never thought it would happen. Thank you.

I was not sure what it was but ran back to the boat for the camera before I picked it up. I am glad I did.
Thanks Viking I appreciate the comment.

I watched that guy pull fish after fish in. I told him he was my hero. He said he would rather be on "The Deadliest Catch". He still had one more run to do. Thank you.

Tn Mnts,

That is one heck of a hunt!! Great finds. The clovis would of had me ruined for the day. When I find something real good it is hard for me to concentrate because I am constantly looking at the one in my hand instead of the ground. It is a good problem to have though. That guys load of catfish is amazing. He really racked up on'em. I just saw a little platter of about 4 fillets at the grocery store that were priced at $6 something. They sure do taste good fried up with lemmon pepper.
