I had about 3 hours Sunday to slip away from the homestead and swing my metal detector at a site I've been to several times. When I got there I found that the farmer had disked the field and it had been exposed to the previous weeks 1 inch of rain. I was happy to look for Indian artifacts rather than swinging my detector.
Item #121 is about half of a bannerstone weight, made of a material I am not familiar with.
Item #123 looks to me to have been intended as a little serrated bifurcate, but they just couldn't get it bifurcated, as evidenced by some failed strikes in that area.
Item #126 is probably my favorite from this lot, a little Palmer or Kirk with heavily ground base, that matches a few more I have picked up from this site in the past.

Except for one stemmed point back in January, these are my first finds of the year. HH to all.

Like the finds. Shame on the broken Banner but it makes for a great study piece. Thats the only kind I find and only 1 so far. Seems like they are always broken at the drill hole.

Nice finds .... I was out of country the past week I heard we got a pretty bad storm .... I made it out today after work and found a really nice point I'll post in a bit after I get it cleaned up

Started with a Garrett. I think I've probably tried everything make and model from 1977, all the way to the up to the E-trac and GPX 4800.
Nothing new as for me now, I am pretty much handicapped.
