Quartz Keeper Today

Feeling much better now so I decided to go for a look. The quartz piece looks to be a Adena knife to me. Quartz can be hard to tell sometimes. Found a couple of shards with print and of course a heart breaker made of black flint. The pretty ones seem to be broken most of the times.

I have been studying the quartz deposits for gold bearing rocks and the range that dips of out of the Appalacia. With all the quartz you find you might try carrying a gold pan for your creeks if they have a hard bottom? Nice quartz piece. I am proud of the few pieces I get here. They traveled to here.

Nice hunt. Thanks for sharing.

A good hunt regardless, that Quartz doesn't hold the edge well over time

Most of it is cobble bottom but the section I decided to walk down was for sure mud on the bottom. The tree branch I was hanging onto for support broke and I took a header. Covered with mud the whole trip but it was above 50 so it wasnt to bad. Never tried to pan for gold.

Accidents happen every once in a while. I took a shortcut I was thinking but didnt know how steep it was till I was halfway down. Live and learn.

Halfway done rite now. Its windy which is great for a cotton field it will help blow it off the fields or put it in clumps which will help for my visual of the ground. Hunting season started today so I dont know if they will finish today or not. But it will be done by next week for sure. Hopefully I get a day off next week cause that is where I am going. Hit the good spots 1st then spread out after. It will be nice to walk dry ground again.
