Finally found one!!

[lisfisher]

The cornfields are starting to be harvested so I went to one today and found this one pretty quickly. An Adena or Canfield maybe??

Cool find!!!

I'm not much help on identifying yet.

I'll tell ya, I've been working real hard to find one the past few months. When the corn is growing in the fields I'm like a lost sailor - no idea where to go. I tried dried up riverbeds, washed out hillsides, even got so desperate and dug a few holes and sifted in my back woods. The day they cut the corn { today } I find this one in 15 minutes. Go figure

We use to walk the fields after they plowed and disked them for hours and hours as kids, Not sure where those went that we found. My dad ran off with them and put them away and haven't seen them since. We found really little arrow heads too. At that time were told they were for birds. I just started thinking about getting back into looking for them again.

Very nice find! That's a lot of flaking. If you see any depressions pocketing the earth try sticking a shovel a foot down in them. Could be old trash pits or homes. Congrats. Sounds like you worked hard to find that one.

That's an awesome find and it does have a lot of flaking, not sure of the types in your area but that's a great find!

That is a nice find. Hope you have many more to come.

How do you tell a knife vs an arrowhead?? They look the same to me, but I am no expert

Canfield is as good of a guess as any. I would just call it an Archaic Stemmed Point. Congrats on your first find. You are hooked for life now.

Nice find and there will be more in that field, let them disk or burn it off and rain on it then go look. Good Luck
