I went to one of my favorite sites today and surface hunted for about 2 hours. It was really hot and muggy, but finding the Bone Fish Hook, the Bone Needle, and a nice array of decent points made it all worth while. This is the first complete Fish Hook I have ever found and it was laying out completely exposed. When I first saw it I thought for sure it was a piece of a plant curled into a "J" until I reached out and touched it and felt it was was hard. I wish I would have had my camera with me, but I left in such a hurry this morning that I forgot it, so no in situs.
First picture is the days haul, including a decent Adena Point and a few nice Triangle Points, the Fish Hook, the Bone Needle, a piece of cut and worked Deer Antler, and a Groundhog Tooth.
The next pictures are closeups of the Fish Hook and the Bone Needle. The Needle is broke through the hole, but is still very nice. Very highly polished, and since it's curved, I believe it's made from a rib bone. For size, the Fish Hook is almost exactly one inch long.
