Lots of artifacts near Golden. Table(both) and Green mountains, all along the hogback, and any high point near water...

I don`t know if you would be aware, but didn`t surgeons use or still use, pieces of flint for fine procedures because flint is sharp to the molecular level, not micron as would be steel?
No, I`m not making that up...read it somewhere within the last five years.. heart surgeons IIRC, the edge of an obsidian blade can be exactly one SiO2 molecule thick.....cant sharpen steel that fine.......but it does loose its edge much faster than steel..... I read something about that, also. IIRC, the material wasn't flint, but some type of volcanic lava that was similiar to glass, or glass- like. The article I read said that small blades of it were used in surgery, such as eye surgery. The downside was that it was extremely fragile. Again, IIRC, the article said that someone in either VA or W. VA made them

Really interesting. I have found stone artifacts in Florida, New Mexico and even when I was in the middle east. Now live NW of Golden and never found an artifact in Colorado despite being outdoors alot and living here over 10 years. Any other hunting areas around here?

Do the math. White men have been finding arrow heads ever since they came to America. Hundreds of thousands by now from ocean to ocean over 300yrs. What have they found, maybe 1% or less of all ever made ? It boggles my mind. The production rate must have been astronomical.
Native (Asian) Americans must have been here much longer than the 12 thousand years historians claim.

I am at about 8500 ft elevation west of the mid point between Golden and Boulder. I think the ground is too steep and things get covered by erosion. Have you found anything high in the mountains? I may start hiking lower down, but I keep a good eye on the ground most of the time.

Mountains are a bit tuffer to hunt. Try to find camps, rather than hunting areas. Come down a bit, work the hogback, around springs, sheltered draws, high points near water, blowouts and rimrock...
