Glad I went out today! NW, AR

I found this on a high hill in central Texas.

Found on the bank of the Pee Dee river. Metate was right above the water line half buried. Mano was below it about 6 inches just under the water.

Couple of nice scrapers.

I found this tiny point right at the edge of the snow. In the video you can see how small it really is. When the ground is covered, I have to look for the bare patches where the snow hasn’t settled — that’s the only way to spot these little ones. This is one of the smallest arrowheads I’ve ever found, and I’d love to hear any thoughts on style or age.

The first quartz point was found in a feeder creek in Petersburg Va. The second point was found in a creek in Prince George, Va

Very new and learning, appreciate it.

1-8, TP,EA or otherwise? All are PF’s from same site in Kentucky. Thanks for your time and input in advance.

I had to ask. Hudson River banks, mid-Hudson Valley NY.

Well, fellas, lightning struck again this month. I found my first axe head on April 2nd. Today, I was in a completely different field and stumbled on this one. If you’ve seen my other posts, I found this about 50 yards upfield from where I found those two Etley knives. I think it’s safe to say this was a campsite. My fiancée had decided to check a few of the reliable fields after we got a bunch of rain yesterday. We were about to leave, but I decided to double back and get a preform that I had left behind earlier. As I was walking to where it was, I saw the broken butt of this axe sticking out of the ground in one of the rows. It’s not in as good of shape as the first axe, but I think this one is much older than that one. Both are 3/4 grooved axes, but this one is longer and much skinnier. It has a chunk of the butt missing and a nick in the bit. There’s also some pitting in the rock from laying in that field for thousands of years. It was a day maker, for sure. Found in Pike County, Il, as always.

Not all artifacts are found in the wild. I bought a house and this was in the depths of the garage wrapped in a blanket. Must be over 100lbs. Western Colorado USA.

Great mixed bag archaic haul today at one of my sites. I got water in my boots in the first hour, but it was still worth it.

Also, maybe I'm stretching, but I'm wondering if the blade *might* be hardaway? It matches the description, paper thin, lanceolate, and the right size at about 55 mm.

Found this in a creek in SW Ohio.. it was after some decent rain. In the last pic I put it back to show where I found it, right in the imprint in the sediment, but I had already picked it up and cleaned it off.. I can’t imagine it has been there long because this isn’t really a super out of the way location.
