I had to go to do something for work today and when I was finished I figured I would take a drive out through the country to see if I could find a new spot to hunt. I drive for what seemed like forever and I went up over this huge hill and when I got to the bottom of the other side it opened into a huge valley with a nice creek running along. I saw this really nice big field up on the left and after knocking on a few doors I found out who owned the field and went to his house. When he came to the door I introduced myself and asked for permission and he never even hesitated and said sure, go right ahead young man and be sure to stop by when you're through to show me what you found. What a great guy!!!
I drove back up to the field and the first thing I noticed was it was washed down flat as a pancake. Also, it was right at the confluence of two nice size creeks and I could see the creek had came up out it's banks and ran down through the field. It had washed down to the hard pan and a I found three of the Points in pockets along the path where it ran through. I only got to hunt it for two hours and found 6 Points, a crude little Flint Celt, 2 pieces of Trade Pipes, both Stem pieces, and some broken stuff.
I wne t back down to the house to show him what I found and he asked if I hunted the field that went up the holler and I said no and he said it was the better spot. I asked if I could come back and he said I was welcome anytime so I'll be back up there first thing Friday morning. I drove back up and looking at the field and the creek had ran down through it too so I'm really anxious to get back up there.
Here's some pics of what I found. So far from what I found it looks to be a Middle Woodland site. These are the better in situs and in hand pics.

A good spot to hunt artichokes is worth a bunch of pockets full. The Pipe stems were Awesome ! I bet the designs on the bowls will bring smiles to our faces. Keep on building your treasure chest. Thanks for the look see. Kris
