First Hunt Of 2018

[southfork]

Quick surface hunt in the high grass before the next storm . The crystal Gunther was laying on a gopher mound sun bathing and a group shot of todays finds. The last photo is from the Northern Side Notched Cluster early archaic ca. 6000to 5000 B.C. All finds from private property N. California.

Starting out real well. Dandy crystal point. About time to start the gold finding too isn't it.

Great finds ! That crystal quartz is just unreal .... I always check the area around groundhog holes but haven’t had any luck yet. Think I would be digging some holes of my own after seeing that

Thanks the creeks are starting to flow had one of my sons friends over yesterday he found a few pickers.

Absolutely beautiful points and really cool to find one on a gopher mound, nice of them to do some of the work for you There are groundhog holes that open up in the banks of my creek in 3 different areas that have been my biggest producers and I've sort of thought that is the reason I find so much there.

Great start to the year for sure, that quartz point looks amazing.

 

[old digger]

That quartz point is a beauty!

I always have to check out those gopher mounds since that point one I found a couple years ago.

 

[BearCreek]

Our gophers and groundhogs need to get busy! I’d faint if I found something that beautiful. Fantastic start to 2018!

Nice finds for a surface hunt

 

[newnan man]

Make sure you go back & leave an ear of corn on that gophers mound. Beautiful point!

 

[Phishfindr]

Morels are starting to pop in the valley too, keep yours eyes open if you like those!

The crystal point would make my year. I've noticed you find a lot of them. Do you think they used quartz out of preference or necessity? It is a hard stone to work with. Continued good luck out there!

This area has a lot of different materials large outcrops of cherts but I think crystal put a little magic / good luck in the hunt. The camps I hunt all have crystal points seems to be a sierra foothills favorite.
