Well... the snow isn't gone yet but I went out looking anyway. First spot I went to was a place where a creek used to run into the Wisconsin river but it is now part of a man made lake... it's only low like this early in the spring and if you get lucky you can sometimes find the site exposed for a couple of days before the water comes back up again- no such luck today, as you can see in the first pic the island is still covered in snow and ice.
So I went to plan B and stopped by an old site- the fields haven't been plowed yet but there is a dirt road that hugs the creek right through the middle of the site so I parked the truck and walked the dirt road, found one large broken Raddatz point but it's heavily damaged.. bad day of arrowhead hunting is still better than a good day at work and at least now I have one find on the books for the year! LOL
Sorry for screwing up the in situ shot.. it would have been classic because there were tire track marks right over the point but I kicked it with my foot thinking it was a big flake before realizing what it was- next time!
