Nothing Good but,...

I was working a new area the other day and found the 4 pieces of flint in the far left hand row...went back yesterday and found the 10 pieces in the next row. Maybe sooner or later I'll pull something good out of there....also picking up some homestead pottery. A buddy of mine tells me that al lot of this flint is reduction flakes type stuff so for me that's a score if I have another spot to keep an eye on. After getting the pottery home and cleaning it up it had some of the blue designs that appeared on lots of the stoneware I think they call it. We'll see what happens....maybe a point or 2 in there somewhere.

Excellent. You gotta stay on that area if it rains too.

The 3rd one down to left of the pencil looks like it might be more than a flake, can we see that one a little closer?

Here ya go,..I thought it could possibly be the base of one but I really only had one good ear....and I ain't no expert. See what you think,.........

I'm surrounded by farmland...all of my finds are in relation to the creek that rolls through here. I've got one little area cows keep wore down to dirt...same spot as where I found my point. This cornfield is about a hundred yards up a little hill.....and I found another spot down the creek about 1/4 mile where I found some flint in a bank. Here is a few pics of some pieces I found in this first area before i scored my point. Someone said that the last one is a scraper and the red coloration is a heat treatment. At the moment I've got 3 liitle areas that I'm checking after rains along with the creek itself where i've found some flint.
