Hunt 10-5-13

[Tnmountains]

Hey guys. Did a couple hours hunt to a friends field off the river. Figured it would be quicker to hit it by boat early in the morn and it sure was foggy. Seems like I got focused on green rocks as this area is known for a little bit of green stone and I was really wanting a nice green stone celt(in my dreams). Only found one piece of green stone and that was probably not worked but some of the artifacts had a green tint.Go figure

I wonder how much I missed. The day belonged to Copena and Hamilton Also found a carved and then melted 58 cal Civil war bullet we call camp lead.

The little triangular Hamilton and the one and only insitu Copena are good quality. Just one would have made my day as I have had a pretty lack luster season .
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting.

Froggy ride in.



Insitu Copena



GroupOne Copena (auriculate) on left is fort payne chert the good one (triangular) is a local black chert with a small amount of rind on base.



Group 2 bottom left is a heavily worn copena almost to drill form before being broke or chunked.



Hamilton, green hornstone



Happy Hunting!

You will find them before long I bet Joe. Some later sites in your area are known just for them and you have been doing really well. Thanks for the reply. I did not show all the brokes and we left a lot of them. These looked like arrowheads

Thank you Rock
Hunted for about 3 hours. I had not been there in some time. It is a real clean site hardly any rocks or flakes in the field at all.
All but the first were in an area not very large at all considering the size of the field. It has no pottery. I think it was more of a camp site not village site. I have hunted it for almost 30 years off and on so when I hit it I know exactly where to go. 400 yards away is a large site full of pottery and shell but it is in to till.

 

[rock]

no till sucks for sure. 3 hours that is a impressive finds. HH, rock

The dog has gotten real arthritic with his back legs and I am scared he will get hung up along the shores or in the fields and get hurt. I did take him to Islamorada and Key Largo a week ago. I have mostly metal detected this summer. Thanks for your kind words. I miss that ole river you hunt.
