Adena~~and a pocket full of flint

[UpNorth]

Done with my turkey hunt this morning.
score the victory to Longbeard this year.
made it to my favorite field in search of a platform pipe, missing its bowl... scored a really nice adena,a end scraper and a half.
and the base of a Madison.the adena’s gonna find a new home in S.C. Its gonna make a nice centerpiece to the frame... Josie.. be patient, gonna make you wait awhile... Ha!.......✌️

well done some nice finds

[SurfaceHunter]

Now that's some nice colors on that point.

[UpNorth]

Some much better pics.

[SurfaceHunter]

Is the inclusions mica? Looks silvery

[UpNorth]

No clue surface hunter, I can find ‘um.
Just can’t type ‘um, or tell you what it’s made from...✌️

[SurfaceHunter]

I'm in the same boat but sure do love finding them.

That looks like a high grade chalcedony, possibly, or similar to Flint ridge. The inclusions are clearer chalcedony mixed in the point. That has to be translucent with a lighted background. But it is an Adena, which is basically the Hopewell culture, and there should be a platform pipe in that site somewhere. Go find t!!

[UpNorth]

Thanks Paul, it is partially translucent...
If that platform pipe even partially pops up I will find it.
My fear is, it’s sitting in a cigar box, in someone’s attic since 1968... thanks for taking a look....✌️

Adenas, flint ridge, Hopewell platforms...you sure you aren't hunting in Ohio... Up North? 😀

[UpNorth]

Other than a few flakes, first point I’ be found made from it up here... this one traveled a distance...✌️

[SurfaceHunter]

You should make a site frame for that section of the field

[Josie]

That's a beautiful find! You know I'm always grateful but that piece would look great in one of your frames!

[Cecilia]

Jo, you lucky puppy!

[UpNorth]

Keep a eye on that mailbox, Josie....✌️

[oldrocks2]

Dang nice Adena with great color. It kinda looks like the Waubesa's I find in IA but has a flatter base . Looks closer to a Dixon. Great find. That missing Hopewell pipe piece is a goal I hope you make.

[UpNorth]

Thanks oldrocks.. always appreciate your input.
Adena’s/ variants... are tricky. Vanishing stem also, crossed my mind...✌️

[UpNorth]

Although the stem is shorter, and more rounded.
I think Dickson is a good fit...👍

[antmike915]

Nice, has a caramel sunday look too it; nice find Brad 👍

[Mailman]

Love the color. I'm jealous.

[Uncle Trav]

Beautiful score on the point. You know rest of that pipe is waiting for you in that field and it’s calling your name. Keep at it!
👍😃

Reminds me of some agate I've seen. Pretty stuff.
