Hi all,
I was going along my normal shoreline site, when I spotted some flakes along the ground. They were an interesting non-native material, a sort of grey chert or rhyolite. I figured I would do a bit of digging around the area. Sure enough, after pushing back some leaves and branches, I found some big pieces of a biface. Nearby was a piece of a pretty neat knife. Digging more revealed a big load of flakes about an inch below ground.

Turns out two of the biface pieces fit together to make a nice complete one! It probably broke during its making and was discarded.

yea digging around may yield some nice relics.

If there is an estuary nearby, go up the feeder creek a ways to, you may find some relics in the creek bed.
