Haven't posted in a while. Here is this months finds

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while. School's kept me pretty busy, but that's okay I managed to finish the semester with a 4.0. The month started off with this heart breaker. It was the only point I found for the day... sure wish I could have found it whole.

Here it is in hand:

I picked up this nice mosasour vertabra not far away:

A few days later I headed out to a local creek that has been kind to me in the past. After about an hour I found this preform hiding under a bush:

It was our first 90+ degree day here in Texas, but I continued on and was rewarded for my effort:

It's an early archaic point called a Wells.

Hit a new creek a few days later and fell in love with it. Found this uni-face side notched knife not far from the bridge:

Found this little quartz scraper hiding under a rock a few hours later:

After several hours in one of the prettiest creeks I've ever seen I decided to call it a day. I was thinking about how nice it would be if I could find a point on the way out when I spoted this one playing hide and seek... I had walked over it about half and hour before on the same gravel bar I found the scraper:

Take a look at this!

I went out with a good friend yesterday. He found little ugly Gary fairly early on but that was it. After several hours of fighting the heat, plants, bugs, and snakes, with out much to show for our efforts we reluctantly turned back. We decided to QC each others work on the way back and he found a nice 2 3/4" woodland point that I flat missed. (Sorry, no pics) I guess I got in to big of a hurry and I flat missed this thing... Talk about getting sick... He spent the next thirty or forty minutes trying to cheer me up. He was in the process of telling a rather long joke, while I was reminding myself of the week I had had... I was actually coming out of the rather sad mood I was in, when I stopped in my tracks. This is what I saw:

It's one of the prettiest Garys I've ever seen. It's right 2 1/2" lg and 1" wide.
I may try to get out before the end of the month, it's been raining today so the creeks ought to be turning over. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed posting them... Razor

Hey Stryker, I hail from East Texas. We do a lot of creek and river walking. They don't work the ground here very deep so we don't hunt a lot of feilds. Ray

Re: Haven't posted in a while. Here is this months finds

Great finds! I love the insitu pcs! While looking at your first pic for the point I noticed what looks like a nice point to the upper right from the artifact you found. In between the two blocks of hardpan is what looks to me like a nice point. Kind of a creamy yellow color? Any one else pick up on that?

Re: Haven't posted in a while. Here is this months finds

Thanks for the comments guys, and gal. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more up before long. I did manage to get out one day last week, but all I found were a couple of small scrapers. We're on are way to PA in the next few days for a much needed vacation and hopefully I'll be able to get out after that. Ray
