2010 Finds (Flint & Hardstone)

I finally got all my finds from 2010 into frames and pictured. 2010 was a great year but I put more time and effort into last year than ever before. Walked many miles and spent countless hours into finding these and discovered a few new productive areas in the process. Pictured are finds from western Va. and southeastern Wv. Thanks for keeping me inspired and best of luck in 2011 everyone.

Dang Th3rty7 holy :headbang:

freaking year you had. I do not believe I have ever found that many points in a year. At best maybe a 100 semi-perfects and perfects. You have yourself a nice hunting area producing that a year.....................As Wes(JYD) said I definitely look forward to seeing your finds this year..................................GTP :icon_thumleft:

Thanks Wes, I probably spent around 300 hours or more hunting in 2010. I'm always glad to help and share what knowledge I have. Good luck this year buddy.

Appreciate that GTP, I'm fortunate to live in an area that was heavily occupied by early man. There's very little competition from others were I hunt and most people around here aren't interested in " rocks ".

I guess everyone much covered it.
Outstanding collection.

Re: 2010 Finds (Flint & Hardstone)

Thirty7
I remember reading and seeing many of your post and finds. You did have a fantastic year. Anyone that hunts can imagine all the miles you put in to amass that collection.
When you Google your area and the word artifacts it should pop up with one word. THIRTY7 !
Thanks for taking us along and sharing your knowledge along the way. This one ranks right up there with the new BANNER about all the bottles that were dug.
Hope you have a great 2011 and find your bannerstone :icon_sunny:

Man I was just looking at that motherload cache of bottles on the banner, truly an incredible find. Almost makes me want to dig up an old outhouse...well almost. Thanks alot Richard, good luck in 2011 on the artifacts and with the detector. I know you like hunting in January have you been out lately?
