First pottery for 2017

[NCPeaches]

Finally got to walk downstream all the way as far as I could go due to fallen trees today and found a small shard on a sand bar It's not much to some but it's been a while for me to find anything so it's what keeps me coming back Also, posting a pic of a flint flake I found last weekend and what may be a worn and broken quartz point or could just be a rock lol Thanks for the look!

Nice to get out and nice decorated pottery.

Yes it was nice to get out and for several hours in the warm sun. Going to try to get out again tomorrow but it won't be very warm, there's still a part of the creek I need to go over since the big rain we had.

If there are flint chips in that creek, there is a arrowhead in that creek most likely. Great finds

And every time I see that shiny gray in the sand I'm hoping it will be one of those arrowheads.

Nice pottery!
Where there's flakes there's points!
You need to stick a shovel in the ground. I know it's not easy but start a hole somewhere you might be surprised what's there.
Maybe 20 feet back from the creek on a bluff.
Wish we were closer I would give you a screen, I just don't get up your way often.
Nice finds!

The first find for the year is a step in the right direction.

I wish we were closer too so you could help me find a place to dig.

Hopefully your flood washed a point loose for you. Creeks here are still to high but I have found a few things. Lots of pottery washed out.

Exactly ! Good finds NC- I remember as a kid finding so many large flakes and likely scrapers and we just left them in piles. Now I pick em up.....I think they are interesting and some things must have been utilized. Like that flake with the little notch there. Maybe? Who knows- thanks as usual for posting!
