Title: Sant Claus Came One Day Early!! Post by: indianasmith on December 24, 2012, 10:02:32 PM I got out for a shoreline ramble and found one of the best artifacts I have ever picked up!
(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h288/Indianasmith/23-24Dec12ChristmasConcertHunt055_zps01f9f44c.jpg) (http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h288/Indianasmith/23-24Dec12ChristmasConcertHunt056_zpsc74abe18.jpg) (http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h288/Indianasmith/23-24Dec12ChristmasConcertHunt059_zpsa2bf686c.jpg) You can see how much bigger it is than all the other points I've found. In 35 years I've only picked up two that were bigger than this one. Title: Re: Sant Claus Came One Day Early!! Post by: ulthar on December 24, 2012, 11:21:38 PM Amazing. Good job!
Got a time period? Title: Re: Sant Claus Came One Day Early!! Post by: indianasmith on December 25, 2012, 12:36:46 AM Round backed knives like that are hard to date, but it came from a site where I find a lot of Middle Archaic stuff - 3,000 to 5,000 years old.

What type of rock is that big one? Title: Re: Sant Claus Came One Day Early!! Post by: indianasmith on December 26, 2012, 12:18:07 AM That is Edwards Plateau Flint, from down in the Texas Hill Country. That material travelled a couple hundred miles to get here.
Title: Re: Sant Claus Came One Day Early!! Post by: Andrew on December 26, 2012, 07:43:02 AM Nice find! I've heard that winter collecting can be better than other times because less people are looking, although I don't know how true that is in your neck of the woods.
It gets, you know, cold here in the winter. Title: Re: Sant Claus Came One Day Early!! Post by: indianasmith on December 26, 2012, 10:07:39 AM Fewer people hunting, and our lake levels tend to be fairly low this time of year, exposing sites that were covered when the reservoir filled. The hard north winds really roll stuff up along the shoreline!
