Vacation is over

[rock]

Well back to work for me. I was on vacation last week when they cleared a field. I went 5 times and found a few keepers. When you hunt a field that has been plowed and then disced this is the results. Lots of heart breakers. Now my hunting will slow till the winter months. HH, rock

You think the tillage causes your heart breakers?

I have news for you. Not saying they never cause any, but I'd bet you, you could take the biggest tractor you could find, pull the best ground ripping piece of equipment that you could mount on it, and not put a scratch on any given point sized rock you decided to toss into that field, and you could have all day trying rock.

The natives un-halfted and tossed way more broken stuff than they lost as completed tools on any given camp or village site.

Look at what Larson finds for example, he runs his tillage with the intention of finding good things, and he does!

I will guarantee you, anyone with a site like that would keep the equipment out if it caused the damage you imagine.

Fresh turned dirt is any field hunters dream, run with it, and quit your whining!

I know you say this every time something like this is brought up but it's not a hypothesis or theory is very visible when there's a good amount of patina on the piece that the brakes are fresh it's just a fact the machinery breaks...chips..dings..points.
Especially in places there quite a bit larger on a regular basis.
I agree if what you find on average is less than an inch long... That's not the case in a lot of places have you ever hunted an area in the southeast?
You're drawing your conclusions on points that for the most part honestly are very very small compared to a lot of places.
The average. That rock fines is thousands of years old the average ones in my area are archaic there's plenty of patina change in those not speaking about arrowheads a few hundred years old here
I bet you would change your tune if you spent some time in those kinds of places.
When a dense piece of metal strikes a piece of Flint at an angle at high speed it creates the same exact effect as knapping with a copper tipped bopper.

I agree but they aren't going to plant it and are going to let the greenery grow back for the winter, no spraying at all. In a month it will be covered again till next fall. I had to grab everything I saw in a hurry. There is still other fields out there I haven't hunted for a year. They will harvest them around October.

Thanks for the comment on my finds but no I wasn't excited at all about going back. Id love to get a weekly paycheck and still hunt artifacts every other day. Who wouldn't though, life goes on.

Back now but I was real happy with my finds for that week. The guy that lets me hunt likes artifacts but never has the time to look (always working) either the fields or his farm. Im going to give him the frame of points I found. Heck he lets me hunt 20 of his fields. I think he will enjoy them as much as I did finding them. I will keep the larger tools.
