I told myself I wasn’t gonna do it but I broke down and headed into the cornfield this morning. Armed with my wide brimmed hat and a bunch of water I did a perimeter walk and found a tiny thumbnail scraper. Next up I found a hastily made beat up small knife and a piece of catlinite. Back up the hill in the tall corn I found the chunk of what looks like some type of heavily worked quartz. Not sure what this was or was supposed to be but very cool material. Last was another tiny broken Dalton. Blows me away as to how these were made and why so small. Not a bad day at all. I exited the field with an empty water bottle and totally soaked through.

Here’s a shot of the field. The corn in the foreground was planted late because the ground was black muck in that area. Where the short corn stops in the distance you can see the high ground comes up quick. The corn on the high ground is about five feet high now. This is the main area where most of my finds have come from. The catlinite pipe I found was at the border where the short and tall corn meet.1 PhotoUncle Trav- Southwest Michigan

Dive into that tall corn area in oct. when it’s yellow and still standing. All that summer rain is going to expose many more.
if you wait until after harvest, you may not find any bare ground at all.........✌️Southeastern Minnesota’s driftless area

I gota admire your tenacity for getting out there in this weather. They've been picking sweet corn in my area for a month. Field corn is getting high but will be harvested much later. I'm in coastal Alabama. We can get in 2 crops of sweet corn a year down here.

It's sooo humid here. For me, it's the humidity. I went tonight about 8:00 and found two so I quit. But I also like going after the sun goes down. Seems like I can see so much better. I know you guys don't have this problem but the humidity can make my hair really scary looking😁South Carolina
