Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Indian Artifacts

Apparently you've stumbled onto a favorite flint workshop.

couple more today....

One of my all time favorite Campfire threads.


Thanks for keeping it alive.

Cool.... If I ever find some of those, they'll be worn around my neck.....My old outfitter found some effigy beads on an anthill.

Bumped into a guy elk hunting yesterday morning and he showed me those bird effigies he found. I offered him a hundred bucks and he wanted to keep them... LOL... I don't blame him.

Just lying there like that? I'll be damned. I thought there was some skill involved! JK. I wish I were so lucky. So neat, all the finds you gents make. Thanks for sharing. Some day I'll find a damned arrowhead <jams hands in pockets and kicks at dirt>...

a sorta crude one.

While deer hunting a few weeks back I stumbled onto what I believe to be a hide scraper.

Fits well in the palm of your hand with a very distinct edge.



(.257 WBY for size comparison)

I'm betting that's an ax head.

I also imagine that it's worth a bit of money to the right person.

Nice find.

Here's some ax head photos,...look very much like the one you found.

Going through some old boxes... forgot I had this.

Was found just looking over a rim toward the rising sun... could have been placed there or abandoned because it broke before finishing the left side... could even have been some long ago modern camper bored I guess... It's in an area that could have been Old ones and off the beaten path... a neat mystery.

Ultimately it's just another Indian sex rock...

That was the original "Kilroy Was Here."

Years ago I was hunting in an area of NE NM and since the are is soil and a gray shale, the red and white rock stood out. As i looked I found lots of chips and fully finished scraper about the size above lying there. Wonder what caused someone to forget it and abandon the "mother stone" there. found a shale arrow head int he same area the same day. Amazing how a piece of worked stone jumps out of all the other pieces of native rock lying there.

found this while out calling coyotes in eastern CO. a few years ago. the only indian artifact that I've ever found. It was laying right in the middle of a cow trail. How it survived without breaking is beyond me.

TR, out at Willard's?

That's a purdy one.

Don, it was on what's known as the old "Proud Foot" ranch, which isn't too far S.W. of ya.

found a broken bird point and a handful of chips.

I always find freaking chips.
