The wife and I went out for a couple hours today while grandma watched the girls.
I managed to find the tip of a Folsom preform that was broken off during the 2nd flute attempt and a fragment of what would have been a beautifully flaked finished Folsom. View attachment 1782954 20191225_132917.jpg 20191225_131211.jpg 20191225_131239.jpg 20191225_131226.jpg 20191225_131329.jpg

I have always wanted to find a complete one and spent quite a bit of time looking for one. That is a very nice piece and sure shows some fine workmanship!!!

All right what a Christmas present. That whole one is coming up.
I hope your right wels! I've been hunting for 20 years and only ever found broken fragments of them. I figure there is probably at least one at the spot where I'm hunting.

Here are a few more and better pictures. I found the large flake with the 3 gravers near where I've been finding the Folsom material. 20191225_152703.jpg 20191225_152721.jpg 20191225_152739.jpg 20191225_152756.jpg 20191225_152813.jpg 20191225_152838.jpg 20191225_152855.jpg 20191225_152917.jpg 20191225_152957.jpg 20191225_153012.jpg 20191225_153042.jpg 20191225_153058.jpg

Awesome finds , somebody had some serious skills .... maybe it was a good way to pass time during those harsh winters I can’t imagine how cold it must have got , you ever have any luck matching broken ones up ?

Even as they are when I find pieces such as those I'm pleased. Just knowing they got to where they were found by the hand of man thousands of years ago and not by the natural forces, just tells a whole different story behind those pieces. Then I just imagine what that world was like for the people who left them there. Makes really wish there was a time travel machine, so I could see with my own eyes the landscape along with the flora and fauna of that time
