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.

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

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.

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.

You gonna hunt that camp out one day, Don. I know. Need some fresh country.... Just find the water....creeks, rivers, or even where they used to be. Look over the high spots near the water and there were Indians there at some point. 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.....

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.
