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

Wow Thats a real nice one Don! you find some Great stuff!

Huntsman22: Great find. I've picked a few up here, and they are beveled only on the opposing sides such that they actually have some twist to them. Need to chip out a few and given them a try some day.

Beautiful! Unreal what those Indians could do with flint.

Man, that is a beauty. Makes you wonder how something with such a fragile shape could survive for centuries or thousands of years.

Still the best thread on 24HCF. I am in awe of the stuff you guy find!

I have found exactly _ONE_ point in my life. A prestine obsidian arrowhead on a hillside above Mono Lake, Ca when I was a kid.

One nice flint turkey tail, one chert point, and a good flint scraper I found Saturday morning.

I need to find a local guy who can teach me how to find arrow heads - I have NEVER found one.

you just have to look down......

Find a field that is down along a creek, or river. Indians liked to camp near water.
In spring time when they plow the field, wait for it to rain. The plow will turn up new points, and the rain will wash the dirt off.

We used to pick up lots of 'em this way, along the Oconee River in central Georgia.

a little side-notched point missing the tip...

Very Nice finds Don! Hope this thread keeps going!

Cant start again till fall plowing around here.
Fairly good hunting during the fall and winter months.
The spring time crowd cant hang that time of year around here.

No chit

Maybe bleach- blonde 50 yr lady with kiddie sand castle bucket is cooking grits at some greasy spoon come winter

Aka: The Footprint Phantom

Firewood work is complete, and I'm stuck around home for a bit. Just had some cataract surgery and am not supposed to handle over a 10 lb load. I'm having Cookie change the TV channels for me. That being, been knocking out a few more points using several varieties of our local obsidian. These are submerged in water on a cookie sheet. Seems to offer up less glare and makes the colors and patterns pop in the image.

Presently looks like there are some Postimage serving issues going on, so hope this shot eventually comes up.

on a side note, I picked up enough chips to finally fill up the 18 gallon green jug. When you think about how many frigging flint chips are in that thing, it makes you realize just how many times I had to bend over and pick them up. It's a wonder my back still works.......grin

That’s amazing, that many flint chips
