3. Any suggestions on books for a newb? You guys sound like you're using standard nomenclature to describe the pieces you find.


Parking lots.

They suck

I would generally agree that parking lots suck for finding arrowheads, but arrowheads are where you find them. You have to keep your eyes open because you never know where one will turn up.

haven't been out much this winter due to health, but found a nicely worked broken tip today. 5 days after coming home from open-heart surgery..... Gotta do walks for rehab anyway, might as well be looking at the ground.....

Hate to hear of your health issues.

Glad they were able to do something to help though. Continue to improve and feel better!

Hope you have a fast and complete recovery. I always enjoy the pics you post, both Indian artifacts and deceased critters.

Dang, Hunts doesn’t sound like fun. Keep those peepers open on your rehab walks; you’ve got some really neat materials in the points you find.

One has to marvel at the quality of the workmanship on some points

Sorry to hear of your health issues, great to see you posting photos again. My six year old great granddaughter (Avery) and her grandpa went to the creek last week looking for rocks. She found a nice knife/scraper on the gravel bar. Also found lots of worked flint. I went to the same location the next day and found what appeared to be a manufacturing location. Lots of broken flint nodules, broken scrapers, hammer stones, and tons of flint shards. Strange thing found no lance/ spear points , broken or complete. Have no ideal where in the area that round flint nodules could be found. Located no artifacts down creek/up creek for 300 yards'

Leave it to the luck of a six year old to find the best artifact their within five minutes of starting her search. GW
