Something I found

tamrock · Aug 3, 2017

I picked this up at a place in Colorado I've hunted off and on over 30 years now. It is a place that has yielded me some beautiful finds over the span of those years of looking in this place of millennium's of indigenous occupation. I'm not convinced it's not just a core, but maybe it had a intentional use and maybe it was used in several ways?. I'm positive it wasn't shaped by the natural forces of erosion, as it was found on a plateau piled high with alluvium rock. Someone definitely left it in this location many moons ago.. It measures 3.75" long.

Hello,

The top two in your pictures posted SEEM to be cores, the bottom one looks like a fat chopper. Keepers if you collect those, I usual stick to Arrowhead but run into Core materials a lot.

Good find! I have always thought that pieces like that could have been made on site to do a job at hand? I'd like to see the shoes also :laughing7:

I've driven US 40 all the way to Heber City, UT many times, as that's the route I like the best going out to Elko, NV. I've been up in the Williams Fork river, but haven't looked around much. This item was found near the upper Arkansas River.

Oh yeah! Love these shoes. They're made by Keen's. Just watch where your walking so not to step on any ant mounds or cactus. Check out this mornings sunrise. About 3AM I woke to some awesome thunder and lightning from a storm going east leaving this beautiful scene I'd like to share with you all.
