Quartz Pickup

[CreekSide]

I went to a area I was at in the summer. But everything was grown over this trip. The only find was this small quartz tool/scraper. Has some damage to the right side. But nice spokeshave on the other side. Still no rain to brag about.

Not much rain here either. It sprinkled here a few days ago and a light rain right now but not enough to barely wet the ground.

I know it wasn’t a great find and I usually don’t share those kind of finds but the site was so slow I figured I’d share it. Thanks for the response.

I have no experience with quartz if I ever hunted in such an area think I’d be picking up all kinds of quartz garbage, probably take me forever to get anywhere.

It can be a challenge especially if there is debitage scattered around. I try to look for pieces with no cortex which usually means it’s been removed and of course thin. Some quartz is terrible in quality but I think this one is a nice quality and displays the working edge very well. Sometimes it can be difficult to get good pictures of quartz.
