Last year's finds- aka: my entire collection

The case on the left consists of percussion flakes, small remnants of shattered points, and a possible blade or two. The red one holds the real finds. The coin is an 1847 large cent, slighty larger than a quarter and used for scale. In the top row I have some broken tips and a couple of broken bases. Surrounding the broken pendant/ gorget at the twelve O'clock position is a Fox River Valley or Henschel. On each side of that are Madison triangles, the one on the left is quartz. Clockwise from there are a Monona/ Stueben, dovetail, Durst?, woodland side notched?, another dovetail, and I don't know what that little one at the nine O'clock position is called- a bird point?, and another Monona/ Stueben-- I think. The four in the second row from the bottom are a Goddard, Madison side notched, raddatz?- too much of the base may be gone on that one, and I'm not sure what that fourth one is- Etley? The bottom row shows a hafted knife with the tang broken off, a thumb nail scraper, and a broken scaper/ preform. I also have some "oh really"'s, "uh-huh"'s, and "sure ya did"'s but I'll save those for another post- Thanks

I would say you have had a great year. Nice looking displays. You found a lot! Good luck this season.

Got some fine looking ones. I like those frames. Did you make them yourself? I like flakes as most here already know. That is the first frame I have ever seen just for flakes. I add them to my frames especially the ones with color. Thanks for the show, rock

Congrats on a great first year. If I put together a case of my finds from my first year of hunting it wouldn't have a single artifact in it.... Nice work.

Great year I would say. My first year would have been 5 or 6 brokes.

Thanks for the support all. I found two or three each time I went out. Hopefully I'll be able to get out more this year. We have lots of snow up here and I think I'd be lucky to get out before the end of March! One of the sites I hunt- a very large and productive field- is for sale and a few of us were told to hunt as much as you can before it's too late. So, after the rains, I plan to be out in force. And yes- I make my own frames.

I went today hunting. Dang it was cold with the wind. Probably 35-40 with the wind. I stayed a long time. Frozen but had fun. I like the frames, I just dont have that talent to make my own.
