I give some things away sometimes. I used to find a lot of pottery disc and gave most away. Now I’m lucky if I find one a year. There’s been others in the past like soapstone that I don’t find anymore.
1. Yes, before I knew about PREFORMED tools, I found a 9" preformed celt. What did I do? Left it in the creek. Then later washed away by a massive rain .
2. On a very hot day, I found a nice piece of caramel brown flint, turned it over and the entire outline of a point stood above the flat edge. Kept it in my hand as I had no pockets that day. Found a point shortly after and not thinking, threw the first find over my shoulder into a bog. ugg
3. Same thing, had no pockets, found an 8" gorgeous pestle. Perfect cigar shape, dark brown with black speckles. So I placed it on a boulder. Forgot it, then next day went back and the area had been flattened by a dozer.
