Third Day Quartz Honey Hole and other colonial spot.

[Edgychris]

Hi, so today is my third day at the quartz honey hole, I know dubbed. I also went to another point to search as I had to wait on the tides. I found a vwry nice full big quartz point today as well as again hundreda of shards and one small point. Many half points. In the other location I found a Bottle that says" Fedral Law Forbids sale or re-use of this bottle" full peice. And a clay old pipe peice. One again a great day after work. Any idead of bottle. Is it from prohibition?jo

Congrats on all the points and partial points! I would be psyched to find a spot like that! I think your clay pipe is complete. From what I know they'd use a certain kind of reed that they would stick into the bowl of it. You might be able to date that due to the art on it. As far as the bottle goes I'd say it's more modern like 30's or 40's but not exactly sure.

nice hunt you had. never found any points yet but have several "federal law forbids" bottles. I know the latest they made them was 1964. however i agree with xcopper probaly 20s to 40s. good luck out there

Nice job on the points and pipe. The Federal Law Prohibits statement is on post prohibition bottles, so post 1933.

Haha yes psyched about the spot but also a lot of nervous energy. You might know the feeling

Xcopperstax is right about the pipe. It is known as a trade pipe. You used a woody stem that had a pith center that could be pushed out to make a hollow stem (elderberry stems work for this and there are others)

Great finds, congratulations. Keep hunting.

I didn't know it was a trade pipe! Cool info! Probably not the same person knapping the quartz but could have been a native trade item if it is what you say.
