Went to Northern Arizona last week, to check out a story for a friend, and while in the area, we ran into a rancher. Really nice guy who gave us permission to hunt some of his woods. He said his kids and grandkids have been finding old Indian Stuff out there since the 1950s, but very few people ever get out that far.
If you have ever heard the term "Virgin Site", then this is it! There were stone circles everywhere. If I could get $1 each for knapping flakes and pot sherds, I would retire in a month. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! You step into an area, and see literally hundreds of pot sherds all around your feet, along with beautifully knapped flakes of jasper and agate (and my buddy even found a little obsidian). We were in kind of a hurry, as Indian knicknacks were not what we drove nine hours to see, so we cut the hunt short at about two hours. We plan on going back! Everything you see were surface finds, just from walking around the dried up stream beds.
