Today yeilds some of this and that!

[NC field hunter]

Finally got out a while today!!! I found some of every thing. Well, not really, but still a wide range.











































And some hoes and spades!































And one cool Mano! Look how smooth the one side is. Slick as ice, and the other fits in hand perfect.











Feel free to ask any questions. I'm to tired to type a bunch of stuff that no one even cares to know tonight. Lol! Thanks for the view!

Glad you got out! Those from fields? Lake? River? Guessing some water or another from the stain on a few of them. Nice finds.

Getting ready to go out this morning, raining a little down here but heading up your way.

You got some good scrapers in that mix and a nice point. Mano I do believe. Hoes IDK not my area. I havent been out in a while myself. Was not going to rain according to the weather person but I guess they were wrong.

Love those first two tools. The steep beveling on the first piece is filthy.

Dang you tore it up. Love the tools and agree that beveling on the first few pieces is killer. Nice looking artifacts. Good days hunt.

Those are my favorite pieces from this hunt. I also like the large flake. I couldn't get a pic to do it justice. Thanks for the compliment Tom!

NC in pictures #7 & #8 what is the type of stone used. very nice selection KAT

I'd guess lake/river stained rhyolite. Could be grean or black rhyolite. The darker rust/brown-ish, and even some black streaking is from the water.

You know, I'm not sure. Lol! It's a large flake tool with great working for this type of tool. However, with the river patina being so thick on it, I can't tell what it is made of. The green color that you see is where it is stained by moss. I'm not sure how much of the patina I can clean off before I ruin my artifact. Thank you for asking, and I really wish I could provide some rational answer for you. I'll look at it again. If I can figure it out, I'll post it.

You are probably correct, rhyolite is typically what we find.
