I started out at the crack of dawn this morning and was at my first spot just as it got light enough to see. We had a great amount of rain on Tuesday so I figured the site would be washed down really good and it was, but I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I spent 3 1/2 hours on the first site and found one nice Triangle Point, a nice Shell Disc Bead, a bunch of Pottery Shards, and a few broken pieces. I had hoped for more, but it's still better than nothing.
After leaving there I decided to drive north to see if I could find a field to hunt and after going about 30 miles and seeing nothing I decided to turn around and head back south. I crossed over into Ky and checked a few spots and the crops were out everywhere but nothing was turned. I crossed back into Ohio and figured I would check one more area and as drove through it was the same thing, all the crops were out but nothing was turned. I got the end of the road to check one last spot and then I was heading home and lo and behold one of my favorite spots to hunt had been chisel plowed on one side and planted in winter wheat on the other. I was one happy camper.
I walked in as fast as I could and as soon as I hit the field I made my first find. A really nice Celt. I almost missed it as I walked right by it, but something caught my eye to the left and when I stopped to look at that I saw the blade edge sticking out. I got down on my hands and knees to get a closer look and saw it was definitely a blade so I snapped a picture and then flipped it out. It's got just a small part of the poll damaged, but other than that it's really nice. I'm fairly certain it's a Hopewell Celt since it's got squared off sides and is a common type for the site. I also found another nice Triangle Point, a Buckcreek, a couple of broken Discoidals, some broken points, some Scrapers, and a very nice Uniface Side Scraper or Blade. All in all a very productive day.
The first picture is the days finds and the rest are the only good in situs I got.
