Post Something

[SurfaceHunter]

I feel everyone is locked down right now with some weather issues. Mine is rain and I can't do any hunts but I sure would like to look at some eye candy while I'm waiting for the weather to get back on track. So I'm sure you guys and gals have something that I can look at don't you? I will start with this bi facial knife I found a few years ago. Tomorrow I can add some I've never shared with anyone. So let's go!!

Oldish $1 whisky jug from flea market. was painted with thick pukey dukey pinkish paint. I saw a small spot where the paint came off and it showed that yellowish, crockish color. When home I took paint remover to it and VOILA boom. I have found turpentine collectors, jugs, mugs and bottles that were painted like this at the fleas and yard sales.

[SurfaceHunter]

Once I found a ugly water jug at Goodwill I sold it for 5 times what I paid

I found a crockery bottle at a flea market once. Vartray Ginger Beer Company, Buffalo New York. I bought it for $10, sold it for $75.

Looks like a killer find

Now that is sweet!

One of my favorite Gorgets, found in a plowed field in 2002, Trumbull County Ohio, just the edge was sticking out of the dirt. It's 5" long, 2" wide and about 3/8" thick made from banded slate and drilled from both sides. Sadly there are about 15 houses on that field now.

[SurfaceHunter]

I'm still looking for a whole one. Pretty sweet gorget

[PointHound]

That's a beast of a gorget. very very nice paohrocks.

[paohrocks]

Thanks guys, I was stoked when i found it.

[Lindenmeier-Man]

Strand of shell beads from Spiro.

[Ron Kelley]

Hey Jason, I have not seen it in person. My three strands of Spiro Whelk Beads (Wampum) are from the collection of George H. Shirk, former Mayor of Oklahoma City and a former president of the Oklahoma Historical Society. These came out of his estate sale. The beads were mined at the Spiro Mounds in the 1930s by the Pocola Mining Company. The Spiro Mounds in LeFlore County Oklahoma were of the Mississippian Period (850 A.D. to about 1300 A.D.) These strands are made up of disc, barrel, elliptical, cylindrical, and spherical beads. The first strand is 28 inches long and has 138 beads. The second strand also 28 inches long has 204 beads. The third strand(the one pictured) is 60 inches long and has 505 beads.

After reading your response I'd like to click the like button twice Ron

[clovisoid]

Great strands, those are nearly impossible to collect now. (A couple of big collectors have horded all of them.)

[SurfaceHunter]

Good stuff so far I like the assortment. Guess I will go look and see what I want to post.

[creekgazer]

After many years of not hunting I decided to start again last spring. I found this one ,it instantly made me obsessed again and going non-stop since.

[SurfaceHunter]

What's the type, your best guess? Looks like a cool find

[creekgazer]

I was thinking a table rock made out of harrodsburg chert.

[SurfaceHunter]

Its unique you would know better than me. Thanks

[SurfaceHunter]

Here is a wall I painted. 🙂

[SurfaceHunter]

I can only hope. All the creeks will be like new again I'm sure. Probably even quartz creek I would think.

[paohrocks]

Yuck, I hate painting...but it does look nice.

[south fork]

How do you like that ladder ? I just bought one like it for a little project on the roof . I think I will find someone to do it for me I don't belong on a roof lol .

[SurfaceHunter]

This one I found a couple of years ago. I really don't know what it is for sure I've been told it's a mini flaked Celt. N GA

[beatup1354]

Some of my PNW finds my g10 klickitat dagger a grouping of columbia plateau points Some cascades and some nice fine grain basalt points .sorry for the crappy photos but they were taken a while ago with a cheap camera.

[SurfaceHunter]

Looks great I even like the coins

[paohrocks]

Those are really cool, really like the point styles and materials from the PNW.

[south fork]

Those PNW are killer very nice points .

[PointHound]

Claystone gorget. I didn't have the pleasure of finding this one. It was a gift from my grandad.

[SurfaceHunter]

Maybe for different sizes of cordage

[paohrocks]

That's a great piece PointHound!

[PointHound]

Thanks, its the only gorget in my collection.

[PointHound]

Found this fresh water pearl years ago on a archaic site a couple hilltops away from the main creek. Probably came from a clam. Can see where it was being polished on before it was dropped.

[PointHound]

That's very possible. I thought it was a bead when I first saw it

[tomclark]

That looks more like a catfish otolith to me.....

[PointHound]

Had to look that one up Tom. It does have a similar look. I didn't see any that where round like that though.

[beatup1354]

Got a piece that most would call a knife but when i was young my dad and uncle said it was a fish scaler but this one was rare as it is made of petrified wood and not basalt like all the others we would find it was found at one of the many fish camps we hunted on the columbia river.

[Ron Kelley]

Fish Scaler: I believe the old guys.

[SurfaceHunter]

Maybe even a saw , very nice
