Put in a lengthly kayak trip yesterday. The sun had melted most of the snow on the south facing banks of the drainage we hunted, the north faces were still snowed in pretty good. Like most working stiff's I don't have the luxury of waiting for great conditions, I hunt when I have time to hunt.
Took the 13 year old out, kayaked ~8 miles, unfortunately ice blocked us from hunting about 1/2 of what I wanted to hunt but we still did pretty good. Found a really nice hafted scraper, but with one ear broken. Maybe a Calf Creek, though it's a little far east for it's distribution. Then found a shallow side notched point. Has 2 different impact fractures both of which have been resharpened over. After that found a nice stemmed point, good blade, nice form, good condition. Most of what I find here is creek tumbled but this one is in a little better shape. Not sure on the type. Next found a maroon square stemmed point. Most of the square stemmed points around here are Etley, but this isn't. I think it's lightly older than Etley. Finally found an Etley blade (Wadlow) that is just over 5". It was in the water when I found it. Before picking it up I thought it might be a Paleo point but unfortunately that's not the case. Still really pleased to find it. First 5"+ find I've had in a long time.
Thanks for looking. I have video's of the boy picking most of these up but they're too large to load.
