I took off after half a day at work and hit the field for two hours. The field was very soupy and I was slip sliding all over the place.
The first point I found was my best.
The knife is 3 5/8 inches long by 1 7/16 wide at the base made from jeffersonville chert I believe. There is no grinding evident on the base or sides of the blade.
There is a slight bevel started on the resharpened side of the blade - that which is curved.
I found a total 10 relics. One was a hafted scraper, one an awl like point. 5 broken points. A large base type of relic.
I found black coshocton flint, flintridge white and pink colors, larual flint and jeffersonville. In the past I have found a lot of jeffersonville on the site.
It was a fun few hours. I am getting pretty old for this and had a body buzz going on the rest of the evening. Two hours and I was whipped. In the 70's through the late 80's I used to hunt from sun up to sun down with rest when driving to other fields. Now 2 hours and I am hurting for a few days.
But at least I am still walking.
