Two cool points of some sort, ones a neato tiny arrowhead.

Two pottery sherds, one has killer crosshatching.

I like this one. I can't tell if it's broken or made this way.

In situ(from my lame cellphone):

Hey GL, some good looking points there. I really like the last one, the material is neat. It looks like it may have had some ancient damage and then it was reworked, but that's just a guess. Ray
 

Nice finds GL, it's definetly broke, an ancient break too, so not so bad. Congrats on your finds. :thumbsup:

Molly. :)

Thanks! I was going to walk my spot but it's now someones house!
The nerve!
So I went to the next hill and started walking and found a big flake fairly quickly. A good sign I think.
Then came the razor sharp flint chips and some metal whatzits. I got a weird feeling like if I just look long enough I would DEFINITELY find a point. It wasn't being hopeful or wishful thinking. It was certainty. I found a stirrup looking rusty thing and tossed it. Not a point I thought to myself. I can come back later for metal stuff. My time was limited so I scanned the ground and there it was! The tiny point! I stopped and uttered the usual curseword(NO SH**!) I was stoked and you all know once you find one you can't just hop in the truck and leave so I walked on. More flakes.
I turn around to head back because I was on a schedule and I spotted the pottery fragment with the crosshatches...awesome I say to myself. At the top of the hill I think it's time to go when the other fragment caught my eye. Then as I was climbing in the truck...the BIG one winks at me!
I am very happy with my 30 minute hunt today. Two more killer points to add to the collection, two more things for me to sit and imaging what it was like all those years ago when the guy who made them lost them.

This Saturday I will be spending an hour or two there...walking.
Looking down.
 

Well GL you did good, I would concentrate on the top of the hill. Archaic ppl camped on hills, that's where I find most of my finds.

Congrats on your finds, it's certainly a great feeling, isn't it.. Good Luck on your next hunt.

Molly. :thumbsup:
 

What a cool post and GREAT finds :thumbsup: Those rock and I hope you find thousands more and share them all here :wink:
