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

I wish I could find some woodland and or Mississippian axes , celts or pottery around here.
I have found a few points down back along the Cumberland when they plant a tobacco crop tax write off .

Pretty strange site one end of the field i have found broken dalton trans paleo points all the way to late archaic early woodland stuff.

Other end of feild late woodland to Mississippian stuff.

But no pottery, axes, or celts.

All the other places me and slumlord hunt are paleo to late archaic early woodland sites long term used based on water sources and geography.

I want to find a tribal head dress one day and a teepee

That would be bad ass

I have been collecting all my life and around here, much is obsidian. Other stuff is found and some are incredible pieces. These artifacts are not only Indian, but the cartridge and cases were used against the Indians during the Indian Wars of the 19th century.

The knife is an exceptional piece, to be so large and still intact. The arrowhead is a work of art, sadly just missing a small part and the scraper is a modified flint from a flintlock rifle made to be used as a scraper...

I used to work with a guy that grew up on the JA ranch in the TX panhandle. His father was ranch foreman for several decades. Sometime in the late teens or early 1920’s, his dad and another cowboy got caught in a blizzard and found a cave to wait out the storm. The cowboy he with found a complete teepee with poles that had been stashed inside. Long story short, the cowboy came back and took the teepee before his father could get it. He said he never saw the cowboy or the teepee again.

Texas panhandle. That is Comanche territory, and the Comanche were master teepee makers. That would be made, of course, from buffalo hide. A museum would love to get their hands on that.

you guys got me motivated to hit the bluff after mowing. good morning....

Very cool! You must be loaded up with arrow heads around there, Don. Do you know why that particular area has so many? Missed shots on a buffalo hunt or?

Looks like a great morning to me! At the rate I find them, that group would take me about 8 to 10 years....

I know where some pottery and Woodland stuff are.
Requires a kayak though

And ya know, kayaks are gay according to campfire recliner boomers.

😬😬

Found a crude thumb scraper, 2 busted mid-sections, a busted base and unnotched one with the tip missing, and a 264 bullet with no core. Somebody musta been antelope hunting...

Scraper, or knapping stone?

Found a mano, a grindstone(not a traditional bowl or metate) a nice little point and a not-so-nice little point. Also found a thin, 'Y'-shaped tool. It is obvious the 'leg' of the 'Y' is busted off, and I have no clue what this could have been used for. It has obviously been worked. If ya know what it is, let me know....

Maybe a scraper to smooth arrow or spear shafts? It looks pretty thin and fragile, though.

"Indian Artifacts"...How about taking a crash course in fuqking geology?

You would be stupid enough to believe that anything Don pictured above was naturally formed.

But Hey! That's how you roll.

not inviting you to Utah......

have actually never been here

But a trip planned soon.......about 2+ hrs east.......

this place is the real deal

Just a swag but being so thin maybe it wasn’t a tool but a byproduct of knapping a tool. Except for being so light I can see it as a shaft working tool, as mentioned.

All of a sudden we have more "Arrow Heads" than Indians that can count how many toes they have.

Maser / Jason Cardenas never fails to show his stupidity. A lifetime of wearing diapers and living in a Section 8 Housing basement, sure hasn’t helped his tiny retarded brain. 😂

Another estrogen induced "Oracle"...
