Platform pipe - Southwest Georgia

[GaRebel1861]

This is one of the best finds that I have and it started off as just another day at the creek. Yesterday, I went with my wife and daughter along with my sister and her husband to cool off from this 100+ degree heat we are having here in Southwest Georgia. Shortly after we got in the water, which was less than knee deep, my sister pointed out two flint tools she spotted laying on the creek bed. These finds told me that there was likely points in the area so I started looking as well. I began running my fingers through the sand and finding pottery shards. After I worked that area with little luck, I decided to move down stream and try another spot. I had to pull some limbs out of the way to get a new area cleaned. Thats when this pipe came up. I did not find any points but thats o.k. with this taking thier place! This will likely be the center piece in my collection for quite some time. Any thoughts or comments are welcomed!! I've also posted this find on "Todays Finds as well.

It must have gotten deeper than what I saw? Tw0 tears in a bucket....GA you are one of the lucky, well... Probably one. No joke.

I got your PM and I agree that there will always be someone out there who isn't happy with what someone else found .

Glad I just saw this, thats truly AMAZING 1,000 Times BANNER .

Ill bet you have been looking for the Tail for almost 8 years , (if you have not already found it ) , to find the tail would be a True Blessing form the Lord .
I Pray you find it someday , if you don't it's still an "Indiana Jones" type find.

I never did find the tail but, I most certainly looked for it. It appears that it wasn't fresh break so there's no telling where it was lost or ended up. I still have the pipe and it's been popular at a show or two here in Southwest Georgia. I guess it goes without saying but, it's the best Native American artifact that I have ever found.

What an absolutely amazing piece. Congratulations still this many years later. It makes me proud that a fellow Georgian found this. I only hope to find a lone worked point these days haha.
