Eastern Oregon Find

[stryker-one]

Found this projectile point (red one) 2006 in eastern Oregon. Just a corner of the left tail was sticking up out of a gophers waste mound. The mound dirt was black in color--so it was like a beacon .

I was telling Bruce, in reply to his post, that I have found a box full of beads by digging through the coarse gravel gathered by the red ants (Pogonomyrmex rugosus ) in Arizona. If you live someplace that has these ground digging ants then it will probably work for you too.

You really have to watch those ants though. Their sting is like a cigarette burn. These red ants are very large, a little more than 1/4 inch in length. What you do is find a place where you think the ancients use to live. Find an ant bed down hill of there but still close--dig through the residue pile from the ant's excavations and you should be able to find beads.

I'll post pictures of my beads when I find em again. I put them up so they would not get lost
