Got out today and another day of tons of big flakes and broke points but we’re close. Think I got a perforator. tried to make it interactive with the pictures and showing y’all one of my creeks cause I always wonder what everybody else’s looks like. I enjoy the nature as much as the hunt. Tell me what y’all think about that last broke new material is it crystal?

What a beautiful creek. Just not possible around here. With all the farming, our creeks are mud. Muddy water and muddy banks. Before farming, I think our creeks looked like yours. If I had a creek like that I’d be in there every day!

I would think gravel bars that big with all the material on them there would be more points and tools. I’m lucky if the bars I walk are 20 x 5 feet long and wide. Unless someone beat you to it.
I thought the same thing but unless they are covering tracks I’m not seeing prints or flake piles normal signs of being beat it’s strange maybe the pile of good ones are hanging on the edge waiting for the next flood I’ll go while it’s still raining just to be positive I’m not being beat because there should be a lot more I agree with you i could’ve took 1000 pictures of flakes just not finding the gold.

Experienced collectors will bypass every single thing unless it’s a point. I know a guy who won’t even bend over for a point unless it’s black. He has a big collection so I guess he can be picky.

Right I usually only bring home brokes and whole points or big hard stone tools because I’m just in a location that has a lot of those but that was the first time taking my new GoPro out so I was really just testing its image quality with anything I could find that was worked. Also started bringing home good chunks to practice knapping

Points and Poles is another new and upcoming video guy. All the ones I watched for years have stopped doing videos. Rocks Custow still does vids but mostly vintage marbles now. He said once he gets $20 per 1000 views. Doesn’t sound like much but if you get millions of views it will pay. Keep beating the rock bars something nice should be popping soon. Never know when a site will be washed out. Pottery and flakes usually mean trash pits. But I’ve found some good things in trash pits. One of my Celts came from a pit.
