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.

i have seen many different bone flutes the old farmers have found out here after plowing the fields, one guy in his 80,s can play a bone flute the sound is amazing 
along with 100,s of Clovis points they collected over the years the entire Northfork was 17 different Indian nations for thousands of years until the settlers chased them off 
Really good finds
