Found a nice flake today

[NCPeaches]

Finally got to get out for a little while today, nice and sunny but temps cool, no snakes or mosquitoes and I like that. The creek is pretty dry so thought I'd rake out from under a bank and see if anything would come up, not much luck but did find this pretty little flake. You can't really tell from the pic but it's got a nice bulb on the side that is not flaked. It may have a been a utilized flake but I'm hoping some day to find the projectile points that they made from this gray material and betting it will be a killer. Thanks for the look! HH

good eyes...
Is there high ground by that creek? If so, go there !

Looks like you are in the right area, Some nice looking material.

I went back out today to the same general area where the flake was and found a nice pottery shard so I'm feeling better about my creek. Here's a couple pics of outside and inside. I think it's fabric impressed and you can see lines on the inside too where they smoothed it which is unusual for me to find shards with inside lines. It's been a good weekend for me!

Outside Inside

Nice flake looks like the blue stuff I find around here.
On the pottery I think I would display the inside facing out so people could see that. I havent found any with the work on the inside before, very interesting
