Great Hunt Today - Found Another Pipe!

[The Grim Reaper]

I went to one my Ft Ancient village sites today for a little bit while my wife and son went to a fund raiser. I had a few hours to kill and figured what better way to kill them. Boy, am I glad I decided to go. I had a really good hunt. I only found 1 Triangle Point and it has the tip broken off, but I found a really nice Drilled Tooth, 3 really nice Bone Beads, a crude Pottery Disc, a couple pieces of cut Deer Antler, a nice tip off of a Bone Awl, and of course the find of the day, a nice little Elbow Pipe made from what looks to be a fine grained sandstone. Since it was a nice bright sunny day I had my camera with me and got some great in situ pictures.

First the in situs and then I'll post the cleaned up pictures on the next post.

The 1st two pictures are the Bone Awl. I found this in the brush by raking my hand and clearing off the dead leaves.

Pictures 3 and 4 are the Drilled Tooth. I was crawling when I found this. I love crawling up on these. lol

The next three pictures are Bone Beads. That makes 10 in two trips there.

The next three are of the Elbow Pipe. The first one is just how I first saw it. I knew immediately what it was and I was just hoping it wasn't damaged, but unfortunately it has some damage to the bowl and a tiny spot on the stem. It will still look real good in a tray though.

The last picture shows all the Bone, Shell, Pottery, and Flint that litters the site. Now you see why I crawl. lol

SRV looks like you could have possibly missed a couple more. If you take a close look at all the photo's I have redone you will see what appears to be multiple possibilities. The photo that you posted definitely shows what looks like a scraper or knife and the others that I posted the one with the drilled tooth has what looks like a flake or a triangle to the left( I marked it) and in the same photo I believe could be a arrowhead towards the lower right. The photo's show that we have some good eyes on TNET!!! Congrats on the new pipe. Sure would love to spend a day at that site of yours..........take care............GTP
