I know they are nothing compared to the great stuff Y'all post here but I felt lucky to come home with this stuff. I visited my brother over the Thanksgiving weekend and we just rode around looking for a place to hunt.
The first farm we stopped at we were allowed to hunt. They had just plowed some spots and it had rained on them early last week. I will say that I am not used to walking plowed Kentucky soil! I had to put myself in 4-wheel drive a couple times to get over some of those dirt clods!
We looked for several hours and I am sure there are more pieces to be found but this is all I came home with. What type of point did I find? Are the 3 pieces in the center knives or what? And, the drill would have been nice if it were whole.

It's always exciting to look new land. Thanks for sharing.
 

Those aren't that bad of finds. I would be happy with that for a hunt.

The Drill may not be broken. It looks from the photos that it is just made on a flake.

The stemmed Point looks like a busted up Adena Robbins Point. Would have been a killer of whole.

There is a small chip off one corner of the drill. Here are some pics of it and the point. Thanks for the help.

Good to hear from you. I haven't seen any of your finds on here in a while.
 

Very nice finds, great work. Clod Hopping is hard work, but good for the legs, heart, and everything else. I offten walk areas knowing I'll probably find nothing, just for the exercise.
 

Thats a nice drill! Thanks for the second view!! I have only found one whole drill. Great artifact finds. I would be all over the high spots in your search area.
