Creek and Plowed Field Finds...

[lairmo]

Hunted a freshly plowed field and found a few pieces but only in the draws and water runoffs. Most of the lighter pieces came from the field. I then decided to go to a place by the creek I found a few years ago. After watching some U-tube videos I decided to build a sifter for the water. The place on the creek was a mussel bed right after a high spot and a sharp bend in the creek. I did pretty good (for me).... A few keepers and a LOT of heartbeakers...I also found my second pipe from this area, the last one was over 20 years ago in the field...this one I found in the creek.
and my coolest piece of the day...
I thought it was a broke until I got home and cleaned it...reworked...


sorry for bad cell pics.. second greatest find of the day when I got home:

Have a great day....Lairmo

From pics

 

[lairmo]

I think so...hopefully these work..

 

[arrow86]

Yea those are much better quality and it’s fluted for sure .... that’s a heartbreaker would have been a beautiful point

Some very nice finds. The points are great and the pipe is the icing on the cake .I have a partial pipe but never found any points

Great bunch of finds, Lairmo. I guess you'll be going back with your sifter. There's more to be found there.

I don't know why, but I ALWAYS find bases....very few TIPS....

If a site is heavy on bases, it's usually because it's a base camp. If you find mostly tips, it's usually a hunting or kill site. That's just a rule of thumb, but if you think about it, it makes sense and is what you would expect. They would not return to camp with tips....

That was a spectacular day! Some old stuff there.

I never really thought about it like that....Thanks
