Where was this found? General location, field, creek?

 

[larson1951]

lincha,
it was found in the center of the Dakotas in a field near a dried up creek bank

it was uncovered by a chisel plow at 4-5 inch depth and then washed off by rain

I guess this would have to my coolest piece and the one I'm most proud of finding.

Found in April of this year on a Ft Ancient site in Scioto county, Ohio.

A Ft Ancient Effigy Pipe. I have had a few people look at this and we all agree that if you turn it upside down it might represent a baby bird waiting to be fed. Definitely one of the top 5 finds of my 44 years of collecting, if not the best.

I have only found one piece (broke) of a pipe

Here you go, Larson -- a retouched Clovis blade from Allen County, Tennessee. Both tips are worked into gravers, making it a combination knife and limace. Probably made of a lower (non-waxy) grade of Paoli chert that's heavily patinated. I've seen other pieces that are spotted like this, but have no idea why or how this happens.

Great posts...Here is one of my favorites(I have posted it before, but some of you may not have seen it.)

Shell Ear Plug found by my daughter a few years back. Had no idea what
it was when we brought it home, but thanks to the Internet was able to identify it.
Have found some info. on it, but any additional welcomed. Note the tally marks.
Found in a plowed field along the Red River(North Dakota-Minnesota border).

I dug into one of my bone cases for these, just to add a little international flare.

Here are a couple of hafted sting ray spine knives that I found many years ago on the lovely island of St. Lucia. The first one is the best one and is the original handle/knife combo, the others were pieced together from a shell midden on a beach. The spines are still sharper than an average steak knife.

The bone tube is from the same site, and is completely covered with small hour glass engravings. It might have been a whistle, it's missing about 1/3 of the back but has a remaining strait edge about where the hole would be for a whistle.

Larson has his toy hatchet, I have my toy "unfinished" pipe. Found in the same
field as the Ear Plug.
