Walked Friday, 28 degrees and 20 mph winds, perfect weather to keep
the deer hunters at home. First I found what is left of a Snyders, shows
re-sharpening and wear on the broken shoulder, creek beat it up too. Next
I found a super thin blade half way up the dirt bank, so sharp it had to
have fallen from the dirt above. We have been watching these banks for
about 2 years and never even found a flake, now this falls out. Third piece
was in some chunky gravel, lightly turned by the last rain. Last, Joe found
a colorful butt end. We both found a few other broken pieces.
Hope these shots give you a little better feel for being in
the creek yourself and seeing where the artifacts are found, there definately
is a pattern to where artifacts are found in the rolling gravel.. |
