Break in the weather

Got out yesterday and found a little open ground I could dig.That in its self is pretty fortunate for this early in the game...The digging was slow but was able to find a couple things.Nothing whole but enough to count as artifacts..I'm trying to make finds in all of the months of a year.Not necessarily the same year.I don't believe that will happen..Here's a few brokes....big knife, a pole end of some type of hardcore tool and a few pieces of pottery.Not bad for digging in February...mjm

That's hardstone tool.... love that spell check...yes I'm guessing either a gouge or an adze...as I've found a gouge made of the same material..mjm

Good to see a fellow north easterner getting out so early! I'm looking out my office at the Saint John river and it's completely open. No ice on the water and barely any snow on the ground. Haven't seen that before - might be a nice low water year so I can get out on the banks of the rivers a bit more.

Cheers!

Good for you getting out early for some exercise and excitement too, I can't think of very many places here in central Illinois where I would expect to dig and find something in short order, I'd say you did pretty good. H.H.!

Looks like a promising area and will be happy for you when the frozen stuff melts and it's warm again!

Well just a little snow here this year but plenty of rain and now a cold front is moving in. Wind chill out there today. 4 inches of rain this week equals at least 4 ft the creek has risen if not more. Field hunts for now I guess. Im glad you were able to get out and turned some dirt.
