A show for OHIO !!

Bent-Twig · May 18, 2009

Not trying to disrespect any of the other states, but if you have Ohio stuff , show it off here!! Ohio(chuck), requested to see some of my better finds and I know most of you have seen them. We seem to have a pretty nice following here of Ohio hunters, so lets get a thread going here of our nice Ohio finds. I will get it started off with some of my better finds in the 13 years of artifact hunting that I've been doing.

Here's our chance to REPRESENT for our state , Ohio!!!!!!!

wow, all of those are just awesome !

Some great artifacts so far..
I had the chance to look along the Miami River for a short hour one time. I found the circled piece. Could have been a tool, anyhow it was found in Ohio!

Another great thing was family and I were on our way home from vacation. Paramount Kings Island,
and Cincinnati museum. The museum was astounding !!!

WOW!!!

I had not checked this thread in a long time. There has been some killer pictures added.

Man OH Man!!

Greg-Rocks and Pick,

You two have really been racking up this year. I think we may be in for some rain here real soon w/all the rain south of us. I have a few fields that look promising if they get washed down some. I have been on crutches for a while now , but am getting able to hobble around a little bit lately. If we get some good rain, that might just be the inspiration I need to get back to walking on my own again.

POST 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who has posted up stuff to make this such a popular thread!

This thread takes like 5 minutes for my computer to boot up when I click it. Now thats alot of pictures!!

Well, I guess post 100 deserves something special from our great state. I wish I owned this but I look on the farm where it was found, and whenever I see the farmer is not too busy I ask to see it again. I have posted it here before , but it deserves to be in this thread. Double Crecent Banner Preform. This thing is HUGE!!

Thnx, Greg.

I guess at 38 I should learn not to be out playing basketball against the 20 year olds anymore. Had that young punk down 4 to 2 when I turned my ankle real bad. Been on crutches 3 weeks. That ankle turned black as coal and swelled up like a balloon. Right when all my hutin' seasons are in too! Oh well , live and learn.

Pick,

I have been hunting that site for 13 years and have found alot of nice stuff. I have found celts , tons of broken slate pieces(still looking for a whole one off this site) , and alot of points. The site has alot of Adena culture and quite a bit of archaic also. A real fun place to look. I have found pieces of pendants, gorgets, bannerstones, all on this site. It covers 5 fields and about 150 acres. Here are a few pictures of some of the flint from this place.

Most of this frame is also from that site. The pipe bowls are not from the site.

newnan man · Sep 26, 2009

Man that is some nice stuff from that field! Hey Pickaway, did you ever take your float trip down the Scioto?

Th3rty7 · Sep 26, 2009

This is the thread that keeps on giving. That banner preform is phenomenal! Here's a couple recently aquired Morgan county Ohio pieces, a Coshocton paleo lance, and transitional point with some sweet early flaking. What type are these auriculate transitional pieces? I see them called transitional all the time but never specific too the type.

jeff a · Sep 28, 2009

in the northern part of ohio we call them hi-lo transitionals after the hi-lo site in michigan

naturegirl · Sep 28, 2009

pickaway, 26 of anything in one year is incredible. You Ohio guys have it made! No, not jealous. Not really. Maybe a little. But WOW!
It's interesting really. :icon_thumleft:

thanks jeff, that makes sense because after the research I've done on this subject the hi lo type is the oldest point with shoulders that fit the time period and area.
