Had to go with plan B

[rock]

Well darn I went and asked permission to a old hunting spot that had been sold and developed to a farm. Took 3 of my best walking sticks and some other things I usually trade at farms for walking rights. Got shot down in a hurry which I was shocked due to the spot wasnt even on their farm section I knew about. But I could tell no matter what I said it wasnt going to change so I drove around the bend to another spot I have permission (Bottle Creek). I found some things nothing great but better than nothing. No rain here and the creeks are at their lowest for the year plus the leaves are dropping so it was a tough hunt and I feel lucky to of found anything. Awl or preform, crude spoheshave not used much, quartzite debitage but big flake, other debitage, and what would of been a killer knife but broken in half, piece of cord marked pottery. HH, rock

Well I see you didn't wash away with the storm rock. I would have thought you guys would have at least caught a piece of the rain from it? sorry to hear about your spot man. I hope a new better door opens for you. nice finds.

Nice finds Rock! The pottery you refer to as corded marked does that basically mean a cord was used to mark the pottery?. Maybe a dumb question but figured id ask.

Very disappointing on the no the owner gave me. He tried to tell me there was no points out there. I let him finish as I was hoping he might let me look anyway. I hear it all the time how there is nothing worth looking at. My response is well if there isnt anything worth finding is it okay I have a look and waste my time. It usually works and then I go and find something. But that didnt work either. So I went ahead and told them the truth. I use to look for the points out there before they bought the property and have a nice frame of them. You should of seen his face then I told him I would give him 1/2 of the take his choice and it was still a no. I thanked him for his time and left.

Not dumb at all there is many print types in my area the cord marked being one of the oldest types. If you look at the bottom of the pic there is a dark spot like a small circle which isnt much markings in that area. That small dot is where a handle would of been attached and the handles usually break off or come undone. The handles are called Lugs.
