April 26th was a pretty excellent day for arrowhead hunting. The Midwest has been dealing with a lot of flooding...which is bad for basements but excellent for artifact/fossil hunters. The rain raises the water levels in small lakes, creeks, ditches, and rivers, the extra water erodes river bank walls and exposes new sand/rocks/dirt. Here are some of the pieces we found. Enjoy!

| Left to Right to bottom: A hematite knife or celt (this one is confusing to me, you don't often see hematite pieces, the base of a spear or knife, a scaper, and two knife. |
As you can see, it was a very successful day. The only piece that has me puzzled is the small hematite piece. It's napped like a knife or scraper but I think it's a small celt. Who knows? I'll upload the videos to a youtube account and post the link here later.
Thanks for looking.
you are really been having some good finds lately!
ReplyDeleteThanks, pal. It took many hours to find this many (not to mention all the back pain it took) and it was a very proud day.
