Sad story

[bristowboy]

My cousin found this Elk River/Benton in some gravel that someone used for their driveway. The base was lost anciently. Anyways he was looking at it in his garage one day.. His garage has a concrete floor....... He dropped it and it broke into pieces =\ He couldn't find all of them. It was a nice point even missing the base. Love that diagonal flaking.

I dropped a birdy in the garage and looked for it. I stepped on it. Anyway too bad that killer broke.

I let another cousin look at a killer Adena I had just found... He dropped it on the sidewalk. =\ It broke into 3 pieces.

Concrete is not kind. I noticed you said elk river/benton. Sounds like you are near me?

In artifact hunting, there's nothing more sad or that makes you feel worse than causing modent damage to an ancient piece!
