Finish to last hunt

[welsbury]

Got interrupted on last post so will start new one. We looked awhile more after I found that last point and moved down to next spot. Right off started finding stuff but were damaged a little or a lot. First off found broke in half NSN,love these points when whole.Crude obsidian knife, an Elko in-situ and in hand-broke. Nice point with ear damage

In hand pic A little arrow with tip ding, WooHoo another bead. Then finally my bud got one,a dandy Humboldt I believe maybe a Gatecliff split stem -nice point.Big Elko in-situ , it had broke tip and another Elko

 

[welsbury]

Another Elko,several pics of arrows and a pic showing chips on camp. Something happened to pic but lots of chips

 

[Relicgrubber]

Nice finds. Thanks for the pic's!

Moved to new spot that I had been to twice but it had rained since. Took awhile but finally spotted an arrow,eased it out and darn it had a broke tip. But wait what is that off to the left of it,the tip. I did not see it at first. I probably have a dozen from that spot that I have found the tip to make them whole so I always look well. Next was a nice scraper out of a cool material that looks like crazed porcerlain. Then another arrow. Was looking at a chip 3" away and finally seen it. I remarked that we hadn't found much red OBS and bingo little red bird. Wish it was always that easy

Here is pic of most pieces and a pic of arrow after being fixed. Didn't get it quite right before glue set.

Everybody be careful,clean and safe. Thanks for looking

Hey Wally, nice to get out and find a few! Are you over in Nevada? Sure looks familiar!

 

[welsbury]

It sure is. Don't have to worry about corona out there. Just looking around my area

 

[newnan man]

You're killing it! Nice.

 

[dognose]

Those are some nice relics. I like the material out west. nice days finds

 

[choo]

Awesome artifacts!

 

[joshuaream]

Nice save on finding the tip! Do you think an animal stepped on it more recently, or broken in ancient times?

 

[arrow86]

What a site ..... some killer points , nice finds

 

[old digger]

Now that is cool! Nice repair.

I honestly think that people hunting the place are stepping on them. Most tips or other parts are just inches away. Since I am one of the few to hunt there, I probably crunched several. Has a light sand covering a harder floor. Never had a spot where I have found as many brokes with piece right there. Wish I could levitate over it-no damage.

Now that is cool! Nice repair.

I have several pics of brokes with parts close. Maybe you remember some of them. I'll find some of those pics and post them again

that material out there is beautiful, is it volcanic ?

Yes Kevin it is. Called obsidian and it is a type of volcanic glass. Ranges in color from nearly clear to opaque black with other colors too,reds, green,banded. We also have a good amount of cherts and agates around here. Be safe Kevin

The maker of those points was a very talented craftsman for shure, You have a really good place to hunt. Keep it up Charley2hats

The white thumb scraper you posted in the last batch is the very reason it got its name.
That one needs to make the spring cover of "Thumb Scraper Illustrated"
Nice insitu's.
