Maybe My Best Artifact Hunt Ever!

[oldmxrat]

Had to make the arduous drive to Reno (7.5 hrs) to check on the house and fix any winter damage. Everything was actually in pretty good shape when I got there, so I decided to spend yesterday out at one of my favorite NA artifact sites. When I got out there I could immediately see that there has been significant erosion over the winter.

In just a few minutes of looking I came across this awesome sight!

I love when they leave an imprint in the ground!

Next up was this:

Darn, it got dinged.

Another lovely sight, but it looked dinged also:

After a few more finds that I didn't photograph because I had flicked them up out of the dirt, I saw this ghostly image. I was saying out loud "please, oh please have a tip".

And it sure did!
Again with the imprint in the soil too!

This local chalcedony is my absolute favorite material!

The day's finds, and definitely one of my best hunts ever!
Elko Eared are one of my favorite types, and to find three whole ones in a day is a first for me.

Back in Vegas now, so my posts will all be from md'ing until I head back up north for the summer.
Thanks for looking and good luck with all your hunts!

Oh, forgot to add this pic of the petrified wood Elko:
