found my first really nice point of the year and a couple of tools. first the big tool a bone crusher/ mono smoothed on 4 sides, well never mind heres all of it at once . this mono made of some strange material


insitu of my little sweety.

now with scale.

and a couple more pics.

you guys cant tell i geta little excited can you?

Nice Darl Knife Pat. I been waiting on you. Sweet Mano. I like Manos a lot ! Keep the good pics coming.

Way to go buddy!!!!! That is a great surface find. Sure you let everyone in two counties know you found. That sure is nice.

so pat was that in the dirt feild?

No sir we went thursday only found a little birdie, i sure hope to run into yall soon. I was salivating over the big dirt feild we never made it over. I figured it would hit for someone.We will be back on thursday im hoping to camp.

lots of human footprints in that big field. and one of the largest raccoon prints i've ever seen, every bit of 7 to 8 in. long with only 3 toes on each foot that left imprints like MY big toe would. i wish now i would have taken pics of that.

Wow that a huge racoon, i figure after a big rain that feild will be a nice place to walk. Congrats on the first of the year i hope the floodgates open for ya.

Nice find glad I got to hold it. It's a beauty!!!!! Way to go thanx for all the help again.

Very nice, three complete artifacts

Happy belated new year

thanks everybody! it certainly was'nt my fist artifact i've ever found, but it sure felt like it,it had been so long. i guess its that feeling of excitement that keeps us all coming back for more and if i ever loose that feeling, well it would be time to hang up the tools. oh and by the way BIG B.T. it was a little to windy for people to hear me 2 counties upwind, people downwind were runnin for the hills. WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ETC.

definately looks like a nice darl knife to me. good job.

I thought I heard you all the out here in WT. Still nice one

just briging back up for comparison. what is it ensor or darl? expert need apply.

dont forget about the beveling. more confused than ever. i now am going to have to paper a couple points just for the peace of mind. even more food for thought there is the darl (woodland 2500 to 1000 b.p.)then there is the darl stemmed (early archaic 8 to 5000 b.p.) im sure there had to be blades in both era's why dont we see an example of each in the books.

Im no pro but i say ensor due to the fact that i see ensor points than anything else out of ccc
