Had to drive up to Reno for a few days to get the house in order for the summer stay. My buddy talked me into spending a day out looking for artifacts (much to the wife's dismay) and I'm sure glad he did!
We found some pretty nice points, but the biggie for me was the pump-drill flywheel! I've found many of these broken and even 85% complete, but never whole.
I could see it standing there from 20 feet away, just waiting to be saved!
Other finds included some shell beads, knives, Elko dart points, Early leaf, Humboldt and Rose Spring points, a mano, and a large grooved pestle.
That was a nice change from metal detecting and glad to get out there before things get too hot here.
I added an image of a pump-drill in case anybody was unaware of them.
That last pic is a coyote skeleton.
