Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Indian Artifacts - Volume II

These are Charlie Brown peices from behind the house about 300 yds from the cumberland river along the high banks along the flood plain
Lot of it is definitely not sourced from anywhere around here
Ancient trade route stuff.
Everything from Dalton/trans paleo stuff to missisippian stuff.

Got a obsidian point found down back their that is in my shadow box of better stuff.
Alot t of the more colorful and varied material stuff in the shadow box is from their.

Obsidian definitely is not from anywhere east of the rockies.

Point on lower left corner is obsidian




Some "better" stuff
St Charles dovetail,
Big red thumb scraper
Tiger striped thumb scraper
dovetail touching tiger striped scraper
3 bottom center peices
All from down back also


Dalton fish tail in top center was a heartbreaker when I picked it up
And it had what looks like an impact fracture
Still a nice peice to find.

Other than the penny in the picture, you guys ever find any copper tools, knives, hatched heads etc.? Wondered if anything from the copper mines in the U.P. of Mich had gotten down there?
Have a couple of friends that have found that stuff up here, Mich/Wi. border country. Have also found stone arrow/spear heads.

A neighbor of mine was involved with excavating a couple of villages on the lower Manistee River. They found a single copper point..

Hunts the big arrow head in the top pic of your last post, is there a name for that type of head? I have one just like it but diffrent color, from Tenn.

Keep posting your finds guys! Love this stuff. I can go out and find flint flakes and pieces of pottery most any time, but finding part of an actual point or blade, much less a whole one, is a very rare occurrence.

Found a decent blade and a rough triangle point.
Some tips and alot of broken knife/blade sections in the area I was looking.
Went up the hill to where slumlord was
He said the blade was a tn river blade
Best blade or knife I have found so far.

I hope y'all didn't mess with my tractor while you were taking that pic.

We changed the GPS nav in it for ya and left your other 6 alone.

That thing is the ultimate mud buggy.

This thread is great, I'm envious of y'all finding such awesome points. I know nothing about artifacts but enjoy looking for them. Maybe one of you could identify what I've been finding. Nearly all have come from the same location about 10 acres or from my lawn. Location is Ozark Plateau region of northeast Oklahoma, Adair County. I'm sure most of it is nothing but if it looks worked I pick it up.

Which one is yours james?

NOW that has to be a corporate farm!

You don't know? Since I'm an oddball, it's the Cat.

Good Friday

On the 3rd day, it stopped raining.

Slumlord, it's so muddy here, you can't even walk across a field. Are you sure you're in these parts?

Yeah man we are caked, deep to the ankles. Like wearing 10lb ankle weights.

slumlord, how many acres do you hunt? I'm now limited to 1 or 2 70 acre fields. trespassers and no till have about stopped my hunting here in SE Ohio.

About 4000-5000 acres right now. Maybe 20 different hot spots. Logistically impossible to cover it all.

The landowner has about18,000 tillable he runs. He still believes in plowing.
