good chit, plainview....

A few odds and ends from the past couple of months. The preform on the right was found in the roots and debris of a basswood tree that had blown down. It is Hixton quartzite and is only found in Wisconsin at a ancient quarry site called Silver Mound. The quarry is about 125 miles north of where I found the preform.

Yeah all the old timers up country had metates in their rock gardens. You just don't see em like you used to. Good find Plainview! I there there are still several manos laying around here found will chasing hogs. If I can find them I'll get a pic.

Thanks for posting. Colo. has pretty
ones.

last look before the snow hits tonight turned up a few chips and a piece of purple glass.

I have a very nice Hide Scraper about the size of a baseball, perfectly tooled to fit a woman's hand.

Old purple glass is kinda unique, I've
been told.

Here's a piece that I pulled out of the dirt piled up from the trash pit on a farm owned by my family a couple of Thanksgivings ago. It looks like it has been worked some. No flint naturally occurring there, though Alibates Quarry is 120 or so miles away. Not sure what it is, but somebody carried a it a long way for the travel of that day and then it ended up several feet under ground for a while.

Here's your bump Slum. Let's see em'

some chips from crimmas morning walkabout..

We are forecasted to receive an inch+ of rain over night. I'm planning to hit em up again tomorrow. That should melt more of the clods. More Muck duty.

been guiding a few damage season antelope hunters the last couple weeks. One of the places has an old spring that flows year round and never freezes. I think they'll let me poke around some, this spring.... The old tank has a couple goldfish in it........ The place has promise.....

That could be cool,..wonder how old those goldfish are?

Here is a nice spear point, and a piece of Indian jewelry. There is one hole in the jewelry, and you can see that there used to be another hole in it. I can imagine an Indian girl wearing this on a leather thong around her neck.

I found these in a plowed field along the Oconee River in central Georgia. Lots of pottery shards and flint chips in those fields.





Found this axe head in the same fields. It is almost perfect, looks like it got run over one time by a tractor.

This is one of my favorite threads.

Gentlemen, this is the best thread on the sight. Thanks for sharing.
