So, who else is frustrated?

[scotto]

I'm lucky and unlucky.

I live in an area just LOADED with points, one of my favorite hunting areas is only a half mile from my house. The river snakes all along our country road, and just about everyone you talk to who lives here has found loads of artifacts in the past.
But nobody is breaking up any ground. And we've had zero rain to speak of in over a month.
I have another area that's been under construction to put a road in for over a year, and they've been moving a lot of dirt around which I've found a few broken points and loads of chips. I've been waiting patiently for them to finish, and smooth out all of the topsoil they saved and mounded up (which I know the points are in), and today they got finished. Then, they covered it all with inches of hay and seeded in grass seed. *sigh* I drove thru there a couple hours ago and got really bummed out.

So, here I sit just looking at what other people are finding. But they are calling for some rain in the next couple days, so I hope we get a gulley-washer and I can have a little success. Hopefully we'll get a good amount of wind that's strong enough to move some hay around too.

Scotto,

It sounds to me like you need the PB-460LN Quiet 1™... With that and a couple gallons of fuel your prime field can be prime again!

Hey there scotto, Thats why the Good Lord invented the shovel and leaf rake. I always keep a small shovel and kids plastic leaf rake behind my seat. It's great for breaking off a gully edge or to do a test hole, and the baby rake allows you to spread loose ground cover for a second look. Good luck, G.

Ha! I actually had a dream once that I was arrowhead hunting in a picked cornfield with a leafblower!

Try some new spots nobody can get to, creeks miles from the road, or even in the timber this time of year when the vegetation thins out can expose some dirt and some washouts on bottom land if youve had the flooding that we had. Not too many leaves have fallen yet. Even the timber lines on the edges of the fields you hunt. Check around fence posts, old timers would pile the rocks there when they plowed them up just to get these "rocks" out of thier field. Be carefull of deer hunters!

Frustrated is putting it mildly. Even the creeks & rivers need a good bank washing. I did hear of a site that hasn't been turned over in 20 to 30 years has a new owner, and its been plowed. Going to meet the new owner this weekend, I hope! Still need some rain bad, I'm tired of walking over points I can't see, but I know are there. The leaves here have been falling for a few weeks (a month ahead of time) because of the dry weather.

Well yup, and that's the other thing. If we don't get some rain soon, then everything is going to be covered up by leaves. :P

They have already covered the creek and river banks here and the mountains have fires everywhere it is so dry. When it does rain there are going to be a lot of fresh banks collapsing and washing out cause they are so dry.
Sorry your spot got seeded.
