New Spot - Great Hunt!

[rockheadhunter421]

Here's a few pictures of what I found Friday. I went to a new spot and found some good stuff. I had just enough battery on my phone so I took an insitu picture of a black rhyolite (patinated) Kirk-Palmer. If I had more battery I would have taken one of that high grade rhyolite Stanley that I found later. That is a sweet find! That high grade rhyolite always seems to be popular and made the best quality tools. However, the natives here in NC used speckled and banded forms of rhyolite also. I walked about 3 miles out of human civilization. I ended up finding a few brokes & flakes, a small bird point, and even a crude hoe. There is one flake I found that was unifaced and it is unfinished maybe. There's no secondary flaking but it wouldn't take much more work and I believe that one would be a point. My buddies found some good stuff there. We probably missed a lot too. It was tough getting there but produced very well. I wish everyone a Happy Easter!

love the first big black one......what a beauty!

Thanks Larson. That one is a Stanley type (estimated to be early to late archaic); it should age in the middle I believe. It's not the biggest Stanley I've found but it's definitely the prettiest. I appreciate everyone's responses here. Happy hunting to all!
