Kentucky Headhunting - Can't get ANY BETTER! (new pics

So, the wife and gave us the weekend to go field hunting and we decided to head south to Kentucky.

Rather than hitting a bar for St. Patty's Day OR attending the artifact show in Collinsville, Shane (flint-seeker) and I headed down to Kentucky.

This is the results of 2 fields walked over over Saturday afternoon and Sunday from 11AM until 2:30PM.

Words can't explain how great this weekend was for both of us. BEAUTIFUL county, perfect weather and phenomenal field conditions.

Saturday's hi-lights were a broken, drilled pick bannerstone and about a 2.5 inch thin archaic side notch.


this color is completly natural now, wow cant believe how dark they get after pulling them out of a field!!

Sunday, we founds lots of flint, then Shane found a total of 3 broken axes (he never found ONE!) and then I found this KILLER pestle, completely polished. All in all, 21 complete points and hafted scrapers, ALOT of brokes.THEN......

Right before leaving, I found the find of my lifetime. I have it all on video, but we are driving home as we speak (Shane's a tech geek, so I have internet on the way home on his laptop).

Videos to come soon - especially the footage of my gorget...

AMAZING TIME, BEST WEEKEND HUNT OF THE PAST 7 YEARS OF HUNTING!

For what it's worth, if the admins of this website would like a higher resolution image to use for the banner image above I'd be happy to share it with you. Just shoot me a private message.

Thank you,

Shane, AKA: flint-seeker or "Friend of the gorget finder"

Trevma,
Congrats on the banner.
After careful thought and asking some well known slate collectors, I am confident the expanded center is an early Hopewell piece. As a matter of form, the piece screams Hopewell in every feature except the drilling. Research tells me that there are examples of Early/Transitional Hopewell slate forms with classic Adena drilling. Adena and Hopewell are a rare example where there is solid archaeological evidence that the cultures co-existed and had direct interaction with each other.
My Two Cents,
Jon Dickinson

Great finds. Finally a complete gorget posted...so tough to find in a field. It looks like a salvaged bannerstone that you also found.
