OMG!! (sorry but that was the first thing out of my mouth) what amazing finds!!

 

[Tony_ia]

WOW, great stuff !

I have been trying for years to at least find a single point with no luck...and I know Iowa is covered with them. Not knowing really where to look is no help either, lol. I have even taken my gold pans down to creeks and sifted through where material slides down from the hills, and overlooks. But not knowing where I should be makes it a bit tough.

Great finds Steve. Its amazing how that shell survives. Nice gorget pendants and mask. I would have liked to of found that fluted also. You should share these with the guys in american artifacts they would enjoy seeing the shell and points.
Good hunt sir.

it survives becouse its burried then it gets washed out of the mound they are in by the tide

Did anything ever come of trying to get those points named? Did Hester ever make a comment about them? I'd like to see more pictures of those points if you still have them. Thanks for showing these.

Find any natural dried up lake bed, and dig a hole 4ft by 4ft and sift the dirt you will find arrow heads. They shot a lot of birds off the water. Good Luck.


Great finds great!!!!!

Steve, you said to Tony_ia to "check out mounds near higher flats". Your not hunting indian mounds are you? The reason why I asked that is that the first picture of yours looks like there are human bones in it. I hope I am wrong. Indian mounds are protected and are also sacred. If the mound is an actual burial mound and is washing away into the creek, the the Indian tribe should be notified so they can remove the remains and rebury them.

Your friend,
