Got a good hunt in before more snow hit

[TundraPlugger]

Went and checked out a new field a couple weeks back. It was pretty cold so I had to do the coveralls and face mask but it ended up being well worth it. (I've never posted on here but figured I'd start)

Part of it is a Hell Gap site I found (1 nearly full point and 3 fragments) and a few others are Folsom preforms.

Mostly Knife River Flint but also a Hell Gap point fragment made from white Swan River Chert and maroon porcellanite.

Gasp! Amazing stuff.

Wow , I don’t think any weather conditions could keep me from spending a lot of time at that site. There’s a few really beautiful pieces in there I love the material

I know that stuff, it’s north alright but not the north west.

Are these all surface finds or are you digging and sifting ? Would love to see any of your other finds too, especially if they resemble these ones

I found them near New Town, ND in the western half of the state. Ground is frozen solid right now so all I can do is surface hunt..... I even have to bring a knife along to pry some pieces off the ground. I will post some more stuff I've found over the last 20 years.

Here is an exceptional Oxbow point made from heavily patinated petrified wood. It is 2 1/8" long. Found in Mountrail County, ND back around 2003.

Nice ones! I love material from up in that area.

Welcome to TNET!

Really nice pieces there! It looks like by what you are finding it is a nice piece of ground to hunt. My guess is that your site is not too far from the Missouri River.
That KRF is always a welcome find. I have found it over near where my grandparents settled in north-eastern Montana. I have also found a few artifacts here in central Montana made with the KRF material.

I've thought about doing that smokey.....just need to get up the ambition. The ground is like a rock right now![emoji16]

Thanks joshua! I've been mostly metal detecting for the last 5 years and just started head hunting again.....glad I did!
