Wonder who packed the watch? Neat finds I've put this up before but it deserves tot be seen. Friend of mine's G-grandpa found it when he was 17. ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/jrelkkiller/IMG_0386_zpsc3415f60.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/jrelkkiller/IMG_0388_zps1f318439.jpg)

I love seeing this stuff. It brings back memories of hunting arrowheads on Sunday afternoon with my Dad and brother back in the 50's. No telling how many my Dad found and placed where a little guy could trip over.

Unreal to find that much stuff so quickly. miles of cornrows, grid searching row by row in the 'hot spots', hours and hours on my feetsies. I also fan out from hot spots and do wide open across field searches too. If the corn is ankle high, I can weave pependicular through the matrix. Mind you, these guys set their air drill rows at 30", so there's plenty of comfortable viewage as I step thru-, look left-look right-step again all in a fluid motion. It's amazing how fast the human eye and brain can process the scan. If I'm crosscutting, I cover quite a bit ground and can see about 25ft left and right. So about a 50ft swath as i step though. Because all I'm looking for is quick contrasting color of black flint against red clay or tan soil or the quick glint of light hitting a concoidial surface. If doing parallel grid walking, I can murder about 6 rows at a time on flanks at a steady pace. As the crop gets taller, the shadowing robs you of the keen ability to seperate information. However, an overcast day levels the playing field and one can see thru the stalk matrix again. You also have to be studied in your endeavour. I try to understand how the landscapes might have looked 6,000 yrs ago. An understanding of geomorphology coupled with a hunch usually puts me where the stuff is. I also don't spend tons of time discussing which handgun is best to carry in the shower. Laffin Sounds rough. Maybe I better come help you.

Great thread gents. One of my favorites. I don't have much of an eye for finding them but got lucky in Texas a few weeks ago with one piece. ![[Linked Image]](http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/elkhunter76/photo_zps119d73ad.jpg) next trip we spend a day walking that drainage.....hell with pigs.....

Nice Hunt, and one looks like a broken knife. No sense trying to make us feel sorry for you. We've already seen some of the stuff you've got.

Wonder who packed the watch? Neat finds I've put this up before but it deserves tot be seen. Friend of mine's G-grandpa found it when he was 17. DANG!!! That thing would be like finding the Holy Grail ! Do you know what part of the USA it was found in?

I do a lot of remodel work for a major art museum. They opened an American Indian gallery a few years ago, and THAT would fit right in. It's an art museum, so everything in there has to have some sort of art aspect to it, not just natural history or archeology. They would definitely use that with the bead work on it. Anyway,...very nice!

We find a lot of big grinding bowls in my neck of the woods.
A friend told me of a giant bowl unearthed in a local farmers field.
When they unearthed it and rolled it over there was a human skull stuck in the center of it.
They apologized for disturbing the long resting soul and re buried it.

The corn is 3ft tall here now. I'm shut out of my spots for time being.
I have some tobacco fields I'm going to hit up soon before the mexican laborers start slappin that sucker-plucker oil on the Burley. They'll vacuum up the arrowheads and sell em at the flea markets. Fuggers
