Greetings from the center of the Great Black swamp. I've been dying to get out
and finally today I thought I'd have a chance. However as I was heading out after work ,my Ins. agent stopped by wanting to discuss my college savings plans for my boys. I forgot he was coming. So
I sit down with him for almost an hour. Ugh I'm losing daylight.He leaves and I take off. It's a half hour drive and I decide to park next to an abandoned factory next to the site. Not my usual spot
but I'm in a hurry. I'm racing daylight at this point. It's about a 25 minute walk until I'm at the heart of the site. Then boom ,bam, bang! I find three points in about 20 minutes.That's impressive as I have never found more than one at a time at this site let alone 3 all at once. I leave happily in the fading light.
When I get to my car there is a police car blocking me in and an officer who wants to chat.
He explains that someone called in a suspicious vehicle report. I explain what I've been up to
and show him my finds. He decides that there are probably more dangerous criminals
than me and wishes me a good evening.
Photo 1 and 2 are of the big one.A very nice Hopewell. It was probably broken and then reshaped
by it's owner into the rounded tipped scraper/knife we see today. Very good size and material for
my area.
Photo 3 is of the other two I found today. A busted tipped triangle and what appears to be perhaps
another Woodland point.
Photo 4 is of other points from same site,including a super-notched Snyder's point.
Happy Hunting everyone.
