Rabbit Island

this one is the most common for my area....this point type transitioned from atlatl to bow supposedly but I am only familiar with these small slender ones. I found this one where I find most of my points...in full view of a dozen houses on private land that we all walk and share. You can tell by the patina it has been there awhile. Along with it is a nice prosser button, these were a very common trade item with Hudson's Bay Co, used for adornment.

Nice Find! It is something when you can find artifact right there where we live and walk.

you're in Montana right?...hard to find a better stomping ground than that...all Montana needs is a coastline!...near perfect state.

That's a nice small one, was it laying flat?

It's a pretty large state, and you pretty much have to find the ideal spot to find any artifacts. If they haven't already been picked clean of the good ones. Most if not all rivers and streams have river rock bottoms, but if you find river rock away from the waterways it has been moved there and used as fire rock (In cooking) or fashioned into tools such as mano's, hammer stones, etc..

yep, I was looking for agates and this one was in a small puddle clear as day...everyone else had quit and gone back to the house.
