Ever regret it?

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.

Now I wear clothes with Pockets!

Been there and done that.

Lesson learned.

Before I knew what hammerstones were I would pick them up (because they weren't rocks that looked like the points I would find) and throw them in the woods or in the Chattahoochee river. I also did that with flakes of all sizes without looking to see if they had any type of edgework.
