I hit flint city today for about an hour. Didn't find any whole points but I did find this broken base, which you can see where the weakness was with this nice fossil that probably lead to the break. I also found a little perforator base and a broken stemmed base, that one would have been a smoker. Thanks for the look.

Nice! That last one would have been an outstanding find if it wasn't broken. But still some really nice finds! :icon_thumleft:
 
Not bad for an hour. What material are your finds from Flint City? Many of them look white. Pretty cool that one site tends to yield a consistent material.

I think most of it is Burlington Chert. It seems to have been their go to material of choice and there are big pieces still lying around up there. Here's a piece I found today. image.webp
 
Better than nothing or just finding flakes.
 
We are supposed to have a lot of rain coming this week. That should help.
 
Nice ones, man you didn't get any of the bad storm's did you.

No sir. Got about 2 minutes of rain and enough wind to blow all the leaves off the trees. The bad stuff was north and east of us. We lucked out.
