We have had such a bad drought , big fires,and now floods. We didnt get hit by the floods here except once,but have had unbelieveable rainfall. We have been so dry for the past 3-4 years that I hadnt even thought much about doing any arrowhead hunting. Then a couple of days ago,Garebel (Thank you by the way !!) reminded me that I needed to get out there and do some looking,Sooooo yesterday and this morning I did , and man was it the time to go !!!! I got there yesterday morning and secured my permission,which was originally gained by my Grandfather with a bottle of jim beam, many,many years ago, I remember, he always had 3-4 bottles of beam under the seat to give to the landowner,when he secured permission. They always remember me,and my grandfather from when I was about 6,we had found a 5" petrified wood spearpoint and were jumping up and down yelling,hooting and hollering,and running around, they said at first,they thought one of us got hurt.
Anyway, after I secured my permission and handed over a bottle of beam, I got about my business. This area is the site of numerous campsites,but in all these years,we have only found 1 teepee ring. I drove out on the ranch to the spot where my Grandfather always parked,and started walking. I could see the rain had really pounded the area hard,but was a little skeptical, as I know that ,as hard rains wash out points,it covers them up just as fast.
I got to an area where we had good luck in the past. Within minutes I had a whole point,then another,and another. The past 2 days have been like that, whole points,broken points,tools and even 2 pieces of worked Turquois !! (a first here for me) I spent about 9 hrs over the past 2 days of walking. The folowing pics (and there are many) show everything I found yesterday & today. The beautiful obsidian point I found in my foot print,,, I had stepped on it !! and didnt see it until I was crisscrossing the area. I love my points,,,but am pretty sure the Turquois pieces are my favorite !
