Another beautiful sunny day yesterday, so I had to take advantage of that. I drove out to a place where I often find some pretty good points. It's kind of a crap shoot because the points from this spot can be pretty nice, but it's sandy and there's no way to know if the wind has covered up, or exposed things. Also, it's a LONG drive. Indeed, most of the day is spent behind the wheel to get there.
It looked more covered up than usual when I got there and I figured that I probably wouldn't find anything. I had limited daylight so I just put my head down and searched.
First was this pretty little red rose spring point.
Followed by a couple of shell beads, and then this brownish-red chert knife.
Then, a couple more beads, a couple of preforms, then this nice little drill.
All in all, a pretty successful day, and the weather was perfect!
Both of the preforms were broken, and the halves lying fairly near each other.
Not sure what the little clay disk thing is. It had a hole in the middle and had protrusions sticking out on both sides, which were broke off. Clay items in the Great Basin are very rare, and I've only found one other clay item before, a broken pipe, and from this same site!
