TNMountains asked for these images
"Just post pictures of the dirt and let us look for things from our desk. You should have a virtual web site for artifact hunting."

That is just amazing. If I hunted there I'd have my pockets full before I walked 3 feet.

I would want to be sifting that site ( if the grounds not too hard) Looks an excellent site for beads too.
Great pics.

To me that is just fun looking at your dirt. That is the fullest dirt I have ever seen. We have shell mounds plowed up here and they are not as intersting as yours with all your bone. Thank you so much. I am sure everyone will enjoy seeing your pictures of dirt. I am like Josh I but I would hunt with a wheel barrow. You ever get super serious and sift you will need another garage for the artifacts.
Thanks Larson for the view.

I have always been amazed by the pics larson posts showing the ground he hunts. I think this should be an on going post. Every time you go out to hunt, post pics here of the ground. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Talk about a target rich environment! I think a blind man could find one in that field.

thanks kuger, yes they were used on dresses for ornaments
I have a picture of a woman wearing a dress with at least 400 or more of them
I have some more and they all have holes drilled in them
do you want me to gather them and take a picture??

The area that you photographed, is it the side of a creek bed ? Looks like there had been a recent rain that washed over the area. Love the pottery shard!

Thank you for sharing.

Besides the pottery and bone, I sure hope you picked up the artifacts in the pics. I know I saw three uniface scrapers, and one has a graver spur on it.
