This mornings yard find!

[Davewood]

Well it rained really hard last night and I had a feeling one was gonna appear on trail to my garden. On the way back to the house (40’ away) I spotted this point. I find a lot on my property, I’ve been planning to sign up and share some pics and info.

Western Colorado. I live in the boonies and have wickiups and ax cut stumps on my property as well from Ute camps. I will post more finds up soon.
Anybody else here find them right in their yards?

Welcome o tnet Dave!

Sounds like you might have really good potential at finding some artifacts there in the western part of Colorado.

Hello Davewood!
Welcome to the forum!
Looks like an Archaic Site. So far, anyway.

I've seen some beautiful artifacts gleened from the "western slope", it's sacred country to this day. The Utes were all over that place for thousands of years and it is part of the trade route used by the earliest peoples with Mexico . Keep an eye to the ground, rocks are always moving upward.


I always find something in my yard when it rains...
like the bald eagle in upper rt corner...

Welcome Dave, nice find!

Not so much here but I have in the past. I lived in a home about a half a mile from the river. It was about 40'
above the river and I had a small garden there. I got my hands on a couple of small tobacco plants and set
them in the garden. We built a new home across the county that fall and I didn't have much opportunity
to tend the garden. I went back to collect the equipment from the garden shed and thought about the
tobacco plants. Leaning up against the stalk of one was an unbroken javelin point about 3" long. In
thinking about that, I would literally have had to have held that point in my hand when I set that
plant. I think it was somehow offered in trade.

Best wishes!

Closest thing for me is the river outback we live on the Chester River the first week we moved in I noticed a sand bar visible at low tide I went over looking but not expecting to find anything so I was shocked when I saw a killer point laying rite on top it’s one of the nicest points iv ever found and it really felt like a sign that we made the rite decision to move where we did ..... funny how much finding a artifact can mean to you.
Here’s the point I found

I have a nice spread out East here. Right next to a creek. In 42 YEARS I have still not found one arrowhead. I went looking yesterday and found some nice stuff but it was 380 miles from here!

Not wishing for bad luck, but some of the best relic hunting we have here is when the Shenandoah
hits it's 100 year flood stage. That's usually just below 50 feet. Seriously, the railroad trestles go
under. That's the track, not the whole trestle. Afterwards the trees are full of the black plastic
the truck farms mulch the plants with. Ugly! In the pastures streaks or bands of alluvial mud
appear and with them points tools and media chips are everywhere. A great time to find large items
washed out of the secondary banks. Lots and lots of property damage though. FEMA only pays flood
insurance claims once per tract so there are many abandoned, wrecked homes along the river. Sometimes
they get picked up by folks who reclaim them for weekend camp sites.

I believe it’s a Susquehanna bifurcated
