Return to the Winter Use N.A. camp on the river

[VOL1266-X]

Each time we wanted to return to the river site that we hunted two weeks ago, it rained and was too muddy. Not wanting to stomp through our landowner friend's tobacco patch, we waited until today. Here are our finds including 2 bird points (one looks like a Hopewell), scrapers, mussel shell, paint bowl found by Steve, and a big hunk of Tyrone flint. Tobacco is rapidly growing. Video next hunt. Thanks for looking, Quindy.

Cool finds would like to see the large blade cleaned up if you get a chance ..... Are these all surface finds ?

Did you check to see if that base in the lower left corner would fit any of the broken ones.?

That I did Rock. No match. We had other heartbreakers we eyeballed . No luck there either. We hunted 4 tobacco patches. Thanks for looking, Q.

Very nice ! Arrow if you click the picture twice it should zoom in pretty good....but that blade still has dirt on it.

Great hunt!

Here's 2 pics AR. As you can see, the back edge is flat (sits upright on table) and it avg. .425 in. thick. We have never seen anything curved like that. Whether it's just leftover from shaping material or a blade-not sure. All ideas welcomed & appreciated. Thanks, Q.

i bet its the bottom of a bulb fracture, purposly removed for basal thinning...

Thats a good haul for finds. They are calling for rain all next week for 7 days straight. It either floods or is a drought here hardly ever anything in between.

Could be OS. No place for a handle and not a scraper. Thanks & HH.
