Muddy mess in some places. A lot more flint flakes since the snow melted.
The one above the 5&6 (photo) looked great while lying in the mud, but not worked.
The row immediately below the tape all had different coloration, in spots.
The one on the left is white on one side and orange on the other.
The bottom row all have serrated-looking places. Probably just natural chipping. It is encouraging to keep finding these. It indicates a well-used area for certain.
As a side bar, a friend asked me why I like finding the flakes. I guess it’s the history. I freaked out when I found my first Indian Head Cent with my detector. It’s a little over 100 years old, and mass produced. These flakes are much older, and not everyone can find 30 or 40 of them in a day. So, I’m very happy to get them. It’s like fishing. You stay a little longer as long as you get a few bites.👍🏼
