Welcome to the forum from a Connecticut collector, nice finds.  Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys, they are all a little different pattern. All from same stretch of creek. We hope to keep finding them. I know in some places they litter the ground but for us they are rare.  Most we ever found in one day was two,most days we don't find any. We love Em'.

Welcome from RI, where finding pottery is very rare. Nice sherds, I'm sure you'll find more now that you've got a good spot for finding em.

Hi rmartin from central il, do you find any pottery where you hunt. We dont have many fields to hunt, mostly creeks. We find ours in the creeks.

  I have actually found quite a bit, mostly on Mississipian sites. I have found it on one Early Woodland site. Plowed fields are a thing of the past here too. If your pottery has shell temper(the stuff that binds the clay) it is Mississippian. If it is grit tempered its Woodland.

Thanks, I'll be looking at them closer in the daylight.
