2020 wasn’t all bad

It wasn’t all good either!

I had a really productive year. I found a bunch of nice points but most importantly made a lot of good memories with my boys!

One major bummer was that the land that I found most of these points on was sold in September and I haven’t found anything since! :/

The highlights were two of my boys (4 and 6) found their first points - with a little help from dad ;)

My favorite point is a tie between the two table rocks but think I’m leaning towards the spade shaped one.

These were all found walking creeks in southern Illinois... the best way to artifact hunt! :)

Thanks for looking

Some nice finds.. really like the Thebes and the graham cave

I haven’t spent much time trying to identify these. Which ones are you saying are the Thebes and graham cave?

That is as good as it gets. I look forward to your ‘21 finds, you’ll find a spot, you have the right attitude and motivation to get permissions anywhere.

I think he may be referring to the small white one being the Thebes. It’s so small that I assumed it was a bird point. Did they make Thebes points that small?

Also think he’s referring to the point in a straight line below the white one as the graham cave. I was thinking Godar because I find a lot of those but the base is pretty concave so that might be right.

Nice variety of points and materials! All Illinois finds?
I noticed a broad triangle at the top right. The way you oriented that one suggests it may be something other than a triangle.
2020 was a productive artifact hunting year for me too. Thanks for sharing your finds.
