Did A Lot Of Walking, But It Payed Off !!!!!!

[monsterrack]

They have shut down deer season almost 2 weeks before the end of the month due to flooding . So I went for a long walk 1st field nothing but chips, so I changed states and drove about 60 miles to a field that has a midden mound that was shoved down by farming . The ground had not been turned has good has I like, but I walked it. 1st find I was on fire, it looks like a crude Dalton. My second find broke my heart I thought I had found a killer. My 3rd find hurt but not so bad, it's a nice Evans with a broken ear. I had done walked my tail off and spotted were hogs had been rooting an thought great some broken ground. It was a mush hole my boots would get mud all over them and I would have to kick it off so I didn't have the bigfoot syndrome. I was ready to leave and I almost walked right pass my last find. At first I didn't think it was much because it was so white and then I rolled it out with my finger. Needless to say I walked around in the muck another hour. All I can say is that I'm glad I went to N.E. La. because bone in Ms. does not last long, to much acid in the soil. I have found a few of these in Tn., but this is my 1st La. hook. This is some cleaned up shots. The hook is 1 3/8 inch long.

Wow! It cannot get any better than that fish hook. Looks like you need to go back and do some more looking in that area.

in my view your finds beat gold coin banners every day of the week. dont get me wrong, gold is great stuff but a bone fish hook that you found yourself?...THAT'S what i'm talking bout!

Amazing hook and the gray point looks neat would be good to see it without dirt on it.

Wow! That is one artifact that totally blows me away...My chances of finding one is pretty close to nill the soil around here eats bone up...Always wanted to find one to add with a plummet for a wall display....mjm...

Going to be hard to top that for the rest of the year. Already found your year maker.

Some great looking pieces. The more miles you walk the better your odds of finding great pieces like those.

Congrats to you for walking over some nice finds

That hook is awesome! I have never found any bone. Southwest Georgia soil is not good for bone. Hope you have a great year.

If I get off in time the next day or so I will wash off the points. I left out at 2am and just got home at 8:15pm,got to be back at it by 4 am. Thanks everyone for the kind words and I hope I have not shot my year Rock, but if I did I'll take it!!!!!!!!

Looks like Bambi got a break of a lifetime and in return you made some great finds.

Great finds, the hook is in real good condition, wonder if could be of something other than bone (ivory or antler), regardless a real neat find. I had never seen an Evans point before evidently only common to LA. And eastern Texas, those are neat looking points! Way to go.
