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

Last Thursday afternoon going to help compadre set up his tent. Laying in the road.

Just never know where they'll pop up.

My dad gets annoyed (he introduced me to hunting points a age 5)

But I have found them when we have pulled up to some place random to take a whizz or get a get drink out of the cooler...and more than twice I have found a broke or a scraper or even a whole. From Florida to Utah. lol

Found one while my daughter was feeding ducks some wonder bread at a lake one time. That pissed him off. hahahaha

Yeah, I found one in the yard about two weeks ago. Been here 40 years. First one! LOL

Best "look what I found" story was from archaeologist son. They were doing a mitigation down in Maverick county. Found a burial in cattle pen, at the opening of a cattle shoot right next to the county ranch road. I mean inches. Was only like 2" under surface. So lots o’ bones sticking out. Middle to late archaic site.

I generally find lots of stuff in the roads.

Nice finds, Don!

I am so jealous of you guys that find that stuff. Around here, the points are likely in the bottom of a lake or river by now.


If there are any that is.

I don’t think there are any around here

Feilds me and slumlord hunting this planting cycle
Are pretty well played out now
Shallow plow 3 ft wide between disc.

Had some good hard rains found some decent stuff

Place is hard washed now

Kinda like concrete .

Might do some digging and creek hunting later on in early june.

a nice little birdpoint and an awl, along with an unnotched point

Nice ones! Interesting material on the awl. Looks kinda quartzy.

Neat little guy

Nice finds.
Actual arrowheads.
You nail down the era for most of your finds?
I'm geussing early to late woodland and missispian era
in eastern vernicular.
Dont know what the western more modern era,s are called.
3500 - 2500 bc stuff up to pre colonial?

Nah, I just find them. Never tried to figger ages.

I looked down off my horse this morning and found this.
It's one of those "could be" finds.

Made a pretty fair haul this weekend after all the rain we’ve had recently. 3 prehistoric buffalo skulls, as far as we can determine they’re Bison Occidentalis, different horn shape and larger than the modern Bison Bison. Sources say circa 12,000-5,000 before present. Found several run of the mill points, brokes, concave knives, and a couple crude turtle scrapers.

Uncle found the most beautiful pink flint cornertang knife. Dad found an excellent San Patrice point, very late paleo or very early archaic period and made of really nice dark chocolate colored flint. Dad also found the most massive elk antler I’ve ever seen aside from a Roosevelt, the brow tines are probably 1 1/2” in diameter and the burr is easily 4” across. It came out from under a cutbank and is very old, there haven’t been any elk in the area since the mid 1800’s and I’d bet this is way older than that.

I found two perfect points, one a coffee brown flint Scottsbluff in grey shape and the other a dark grey flint Dalton. The Dalton is the smallest of that form I’ve seen and it’s beveled on the right sides like a Harahay knife.

dayum....... good day.
