The rain started at dusk yesterday and came down most of the night.
The winds were strong, the sky's overcast as a cool mist came down. Temperature hovered just above freezing as I walked through the mushy grass wading the overflowing ditches. To most people it would be considered a miserable day. I like it. Being outside in rough, cold, wet days in the field is great. The choice was hunt some relics or cut some trees up for firewood. I can do the chain sawing later I was thinking.
The ditches were the highest I had seen in a while, and my left muckboot leaked a bit, but thats ok too.
The ground was still frozen a few inches down. So even with all the rain, the ground was not too mushy in the field.
I picked up a decent small point on my second pass around the edge - at 10:30am
I picked up a number of flakes and some broken glass from the old house site.
At 11:01 I found the best relic of the day, a small cobbs blade with the tip broke off. The day last spring I found the coshocton thebes I also found 3 cobbs. This field seems to have many small cobbs.
A few minutes later at 11:09 I found a small base with the tip area broken off
Few minutes later at 11:15 another broken point - a tip with the base broken off
Walked the rest of the site, and found no other relics, a number of flakes here and there.
Not a bad hour in the field. I scouted a few other close fields for hunts in the coming weeks. If the snow holds off.
I still got over into the woods for a few hours to cut up some logs for firewood.
