Great finds oldgunsmith!!!
I'll try to keep this thread alive, but soon the corn in my row-crops sites will be too tall and crowding.
I invested much more of my search time this spring field truthing a hypothesis upon a few different sites that could have been either kill-process camps or ambush sites.
Actually foregoing the regular hot spots along what we deem as 'the river site'. We searched around several sinkhole basins, two are actually ponded up. Around these places (which is a 3/4 mile from the main camp), we pinpointed these new searching grounds. The payoff was dead on! These basins we most likely mud wallers and watering holes for large game.
The key is to not park within 1/2 mile of the site to not alert the pillheads. Even so far as to wear light, drab or khaki clothing the match the dirt way out across the hillsides. We can usually hear the pillheads coming. Small, POS car or s-10 with no muffler, most pillheads drive chevys. Lol fuggers scumbillie underground arrowhead market and it all can be seen on the internet I just hope our spots don't get found out have had some great payoff looking at terrain and doing boxed out probe walks hell I found one spot getting outta my truck on way to afield to take a piss 15 ft away hope they finish the work on the tobacco field behind the house soon that place has been giving up some good stuff and it still is in watermelon sized clods inplaces

My mother and I spent years combing the area around our cabin, looking for Indian artifacts. We collected hundreds of points and had them studied by an anthropology group to determine the impact a ski area would have on the area surrounding Mount Hebgen, near West Yellowstone. We were going through the house, cleaning out all the junk that accumulates over a lifetime and while throwing things out, I found a bunch of pieces we had collected and I had lost track of. The most significant was to find the knife I thought was gone forever on the pile on the right side of the picture. I still remember exactly where I found that knife over 45 years ago...

Yes sir, you'll find gold there somewhere. I'm hitting the hills hard this weekend if the weather holds out for me.

I found this over the week end, I have no ideas what it is or was used for, it fits the palm of the hand nicely, this is the same area that I have found several small arrow heads. Any ideas what it is?
