Quick Tuesday Afternoon Hunt

[The Grim Reaper]

I found a new spot and after we had a really hard rain Tuesday morning I decided to hit it for a couple hours after I got up that afternoon. I got permission and and headed in and kind of gave it a quick once over and decided to hit the slope that goes down towards the river and found 3 pretty nice pieces. The first was a sweet little Hafted Scraper, the 2nd a nice little Stemmed Birdpoint, and the last piece was a Knife made from Carter Cave Flint with a little tip damage. I also found a big Flake Knife with a nice edge worked all along one side. I mainly just wandered through the field and didn't really hunt it well since I was trying to see where the flint was concentrated the most so the next trip I know just where to put my efforts into.

Here's some in situs and some cleaned up shots.

that one pc in first and last pic hasn't been altered by man. sorry to tell you it is just a rock. the more you hunt and find things the better you will be at distinguishing between real artifacts and just rocks.
