went right over my head Searcher. <g> What's a middin?

 

[searcher]

a middin(sp?) is an indian trash/point manufacturing mound that usually has a bunch of squareish pink/red/grey/white rocks piled together. i'll try and get a pic. of one near me, later today...lol alot of serious point hunters dig these...

here's the pic of the middin i promised! kinda small but is real... someone has dug into the middle of it, and the owner has cleared the sotol(sp?) off of it for some reason...? the biggest middin i've worked is 100+ ft in diameter, has trees growing all in it. has only been dug by hand...!

Wow! that would be really great to find. A middin that is. I'll be trying to figure how I can come across one of those. Cool pic too!

I found these in a field between two creeks that had recently been plowed. What stinks is that the week after that my friend went out there and found a complete point bout 2.5". Then another friend found a perfect point and a perfect drill point or bird point.
