May Finds - bone and stone, points, blades, beads and bracelet.

[T Witko]

I haven't post for awhile as it's been a busy month, not only with home projects (I took apart the '50's Montgomery Wards garage that my '30 Ford was stored in and am in the putting it back together at my house.) but also helping get the garden started and trying to stay ahead of the weeds around the site. But that doesn't mean I haven't been hunting.

This is an assortment of the nicer things I found through the month. I will also post some photos of some of the pot shards that I picked up.

Thank you Steve (larson1951) for the display case, this stuff looks pretty good in it.

Jesus I would run naked in the woods for a week to find stuff like that! Thanks for sharing! Do you dig or stomp?

I find most of my stuff walking although the better quality bone items are usually found below the surface.

Guys the more I spend time on this website the more I would like to quit my job and hunt all day everyday, its amazing the artifacts people find I feel like my collection is so small compared to ones like this! I'm thankful for everything I find I can't imagine finding items like these, I would prob die of a heart attack when I do!

I sure do know what you' re talking about. The hunting and finding is the additive part of all this. Having stuff is great but I think the hunt rules.

I'm very fortunate to have access to a private site that really has never been abused or torn up. And it's just minutes from my house. All the stuff I find comes from one site. It's a very early Mandan Village that legend has it, Custer and wife Libby would spend Sunday afternoons hunting artifacts there. Lewis and Clark mentioned it as already abandoned when they came through here.
I guess I'm a little spoiled because whenever I go out looking, I find something. I really do, however, appreciate what I have access to and enjoy sharing some of my finds here.
