Todays heartbreakers

Took a little break from studying to go artifact hunting. Thirty degree and snowing, but felt good to get out! We got slammed with rain last weekend and we still couldn't get to the creek, but the field above yielded a few goodies.

Creek must have been raging, peeled back the asphalt. Normally you wouldn't be able to see the creek from this point. Massive mound of corn stalks are blocking the way in. Frozen now, but will be squishy when it thaws. Also some chert nodules and a few we found.









Here they are cleaned up.













These are reduction flakes, don't see evidence of being worked. Still like to find them though

Nice find. I agree it was good to get out today.

On the last pic, the one to the left of the quarter, could that be a broken point too?

 

[hbrown22]

Possibly, if so it had a rough life! I picked it up because it had that look of being worked at one point.

Also found a big chunk of coal

Its a shame your creek is still high. You found all that around the bank? The creek must be loaded.

It was in the field above the creek. We've never seen anything in this field, the water stripped it bare this time and uncovered them. All surface, couldn't dig because the ground was frozen. Had about an inch of nasty, thick mud on top of that. The kind that sticks to your boots and weighs you down!
