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.
