Monday's Seven Hour Hunt!

Well, It was a long day out on the hunt for a beautiful Monday with the Mrs. We found a lot of different types material in chippings, but we found only three keepers. The first piece that I found was the clear agate piece that appears to have been damaged while in the process of manufacture. The second piece is the broken part of a drill. The last piece was found by the Mrs. I looks similar to an Oxbow but any suggestions are welcome.






In the excitement I forgot to get an in-situ of the awl piece.

We also can across this circular rock shelter. If you zoom in on the photo you will notice the red burnt stones where the hearth was.

The one your wife found would of been a great find, love the color of it. I have days I go hunting and dont even find a piece of flint so you did good.

(Rock and Jamey) Thanks! She is a trooper, and looks forward to getting out in her spare time. She was a little disappointed at not finding anything all day, and we were less than 100 feet from the vehicle and she finds the point.

treasure is everywhere,sometimes we just need to slow down and take advantage of it,or find out why it is so.

Great day. It must be amazing to see that old camp site. It looks like they were there not long ago. That here would be 4' deep.

I am assuming that a lot of overburden has eroded away due to the underlining sandstone base. Other than the camp site, the rest of the terrain in the area is at an angle so water erosion is evident.
