Slim Pick Ins Today

rock · Jan 23, 2014

It was a cold day and the wind was blowing on top of it. I looked at 2 fields and this was it. Everything has damage none was perfect. There is a gray piece that is stone but had a hole in it :icon_scratch:

. If anyone knows what it is holler out. Thanks, rock

Looks like maybe a busted bannerstone. Nice finds!

Rock! Nice slim pickings. If that isn't a busted banner, it's an abrader. I'm leaning towards banner. Sweet! The quartz point is sweet. It reminds me of a "hell gap" is it? I think the hell gap is paleo. I've never seen a real one. Man I hope that's what it is!!!

You know me I dont know, lol

Quartzs point looks like a Guilford with the tip broke off. Pretty sure that is a broke banner. Even to find a broke piece is hard to do.

I believe broken banner also. Looks like a good day to me,and kudos for getting out in this weather.

I figured it was something but just didnt know for sure. I have found those before in the other field across the street from where I was today. Never a whole one though.

Not sure about your point but the thing next to it could that be a small net weight and your other piece looks like a broken banner, all great finds :icon_thumright:

Very nice finds rock you are the man !!!!! I almost think a busted banner should get a vote great finds and nice point I'm gonna look at a couple hells gap points are they a point found in your area ?

I agree with the rest that it looks like a bannerstone fragment....that is a great find for such a nasty cold day!

Not bad at all. You would have a laugh if you saw what I brought home today!

They are both points missing the tips. The one on the left might of been turned into a hafted scraper but the very top is gone so its a hard call. Thanks though

Here is 1 of the other piece I have found of banner out there.

I noticed nobody asked about the red and yellow rock? There is a reason it is in the post.

What's the red and yellow rock?

Tnmountains · Jan 24, 2014

Whazzz up with the green and yellow rock? Nice day to be out. Think the plow has busted stuff or are they ancient breaks?

eastTNJoe · Jan 24, 2014

The suspense is killin' me...what is the red and yellow rock?

painterx7 · Jan 24, 2014

Yeah what's with the rock rock haha

LOL its my lucky rock. I leave it there and every time it rains something appears. I find all of the artifacts within 15 ft of it. I found my Bolen Bevel last yr next to it. Its not a natural color by the way it is quartzite and looks like it has been in a fire like a possible camp rock. Most of the times if I see a rock like it I will find worked tools or flakes in the area of each rock. Its a larger rock than normal for the area it really stands out. Just a tip for all of you hunters to look for things out of place. If it wasnt rite in the middle of the crop area I would scratch the ground a bit but it is rite in the middle of the field. HH, everyone. rock
