Yesterday after the Medora Indiana relic show, we hit the fields, finding a number of broken relics. My wife and I then had a late evening, not wrapping up until 1:30 am this morning.

I thought I could hit the fields for a few hours before the sun got high in the sky and the temperatures soared like they had Saturday. I arrived at the field at 9:15 after a slow start, staying for approximately 2 hours when the temperatures were in the mid 80s with blazing sun. Very hot and humid again by noon. Wow. But rain 'a coming. And fields to hunt when it does.

I was walking from one rise on the field back side to the main rise by the creek when BANG what? What's that doing out here in the middle of the field? Well ok,

Complete, no major damage it looks like.

Next I found a nice hafted scraper. Thought it was just a broken base at first.

When I first seen this large blade tip, I thought I could see small notches,

A small point tip.

A nice broken base is the last find of a 2 hour hunt.

After all these yrs of plowing and people hunting, the hardstone is still out there. Great find!
