Let's Play Some Music-I Found A Killer Bone Flute

I went back to the spot where I found the Discoidal last week and scratched around some more and found a few nice pieces. I found a really nice Bone Bead. It's one of the bigger ones I've ever found. I also found a couple decent points, including the one I had missed last week. It was right where I had thought it would be and I don't know how I missed the last two times I went back to look for it. I looked over that area today and I saw it immediately.

The best find of the day was a killer 3 hole Bone Flute. I didn't get and in situ because I didn't realize what it was until I pulled it out of the ground and wiped it clean to see the 3 holes. It's 3 7/8 inches long and is very highly polished all over including both ends. It is a very nice piece and it whistles very loudly. My dog and my wife hate it because I sat around blowing on it all night.

I had my camera set on the wrong setting so a few of the pics didn't come out real well.

The first 2 pictures are the Bone Bead.

The third picture is of the point I missed last week. The tip right below it was just that, a tip.

Pic 4 is the Flute laid out on my glove after I cleaned some of the dirt off of it and pic 5 is the spot it came from. If you look closely you can see the indentation in the ground where it was laying.

Picture 6 is the long skinny Triangle in situ.

Picture 7 is an in situ of the round based Knife.

The next 3 are of the days finds and closeups of the Flute.

The last two are of a broken Gorget that my buddy Joe found. It will have been very nice had it been all there.

Wow, that is really awesome to make music with that long after the last one who owned it.

I also wanted to mention, look at the 3rd picture of the broken point. It looks like a tip (maybe the tip from this point?) about 8 or 10 inches straight below the point. Did you pick that up too?

Re: Let's Play Some Music-I Found A Killer Bone Flute

How rare is that to find a bone flute WOW Steve that is awesome KILLER :headbang: :thumbsup: FIND
 

Re: Let's Play Some Music-I Found A Killer Bone Flute

is one end still plugged with a ball of pitch??
 

Re: Let's Play Some Music-I Found A Killer Bone Flute

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

cheese, yeah I did check that tip out and that's all it was, just a tip. I don't know if you saw the post last week, but I found a Bone Bead right next to that point and got an in situ of the Bead. When I got home and looked at the picture I saw the point in the pic, but I didn't see it when I took the picture. I went back twice trying to find it because I had a good idea where the Bad had been found, but to no avail. The yesterday I was in the same area and just glance down at the ground and boom, there it was.

Larson, I have no idea how to put a sound file on here or what key it whistles in, but trust me, it is a very high pitched whistle. A guy once told me that warriors would blow on these as they going into battle, which I dispute since I don't think they want to be running with this in their mouth. But anyway, can you imagine hundreds of warriors blowing these at the same time as they ran at you in battle. That would have to be deafening. Also, no pitch in there larson. It was just filled with dirt.

cheese, here is the original picture from last week showing the Bone Bead and the point I missed and the one of the point from yesterday. I'm just glad I found it. It really pissed me off that I was that close to a point and didn't see it. I must be slipping in my old age.

I continue to be amazed at the stuff you all are finding.
That flute is da bomb! outstanding condition.
If I could hear it, I could tell you what the notes are.
