This is something I don’t find often. I didn’t keep it though I did find 3 other big pieces that were cord marked. Didn’t keep them either. I always find a good mud spot up high to leave it just in case someone else wants it. September is one of my slowest months for finds kind of in between for places to go. If it wasn’t for the pottery I would of gotten skunked. North Georgia surface finds

SW of me they're all over...don't pick 'um anymore either...Attached FilesLast edited by Rio Del Norte; 09-14-2019, 04:07 PM.San Luis Valley, southern Colorado-
You don't pick those up!?!? Dude, those are awesome! Some of us easterners would kill for pottery like that. -
These days I don't go to those areas much anymore, mainly 'cause of the gov crackdown on collecting antiques there, everybody's watching and there's too much stealing going on anyway. Pretty sad situation and I don't want to be a part of it.

Maybe we can do a pottery trade some time I like the painted ones. Don’t find that hereNW Georgia,Comment

SH, what era is the pottery you find? I cannot find pottery or either I'm looking over it. Most of my points are Morrow Mountains, Guilfords and Savannah Rivers.South CarolinaComment

You probably won’t find any pottery in that area. Most pottery is from Woodland to Mississippian period. You should find soapstone type fragments but that would be it. Late archaic has some pottery but not like the other 2 periods I mentioned. Cord marked in Woodland period. I have found some good points out there but not lately. Thanks for the interestOriginally posted by Josie View PostNW Georgia,Comment

Yep, that's what I thought. Makes one wonder how they gathered water if they took water back to the camp since there was no pottery vessels. The site I hunt is above a creek. The water in the creek is nasty looking and stagnant. Doesn't mean it was always dirty, I guess. -
Probably use to be crystal clear at one time. I always find older pieces closer to the creeks and water sources. Mississippian period is usually up on high ground. I’m sure they dropped their pots on the gravel rocks while carrying the water back. I find lots of pottery in the creeks. I might should of kept the piece I posted cause it was quite flat. I forgot they made plates.

Just so you guys know the term water shoes doesn’t mean they will actually or should be worn in water. One of mine yesterday blew out. It was tough walking on all them gravel bars with a flat tire. I think next time I will take 2 pairs just in case. Of course when it happened I was a couple of miles upstreamNW Georgia,Comment

You guys might regret not picking those up someday!!Can’t find em sitting on the couch; unless it’s in a fieldComment

YOU DIDN'T PICK IT UP!? WHY? I would NEVER find something like that up here. Gee whiz...Nice photo(?) lol!"The education of a man is never completed until he dies." Robert E. LeeComment

One year I saved all the pottery I found and it filled a 5 gallon bucket. Then I had no idea what to do with it so I did a post on another site. Title was Almost Free Pottery. Just in case someone remembers it? I gave it all away all I asked for was the shipping $6 a box. -
I pick up things that I don't collect, and give/sell them to folks who don't have them. I just looked on ebay, and you should see what pottery pieces are going for.

When you blow it up there is 2 tiny holes upper top section is that there for a purpose or just a defect? I’d like to hear what you thinkOriginally posted by willjo View PostNW Georgia,Comment

Yeah, I would pick them up. Pottery sherds are always cool to pick up and share. I find a lot in the Cape Fear region, and it's interesting to analyze the patterns. I like the fact that you leave some for others to find. I like to share as well, hoping someone will take on the same interests and fascination. Thanks for sharingNorth CarolinaComment

Am just compelled to say to Surface and Rio: SHAME, SHAME for leaving precious pieces to the elements when some addled and pitiful human waiting to provide appreciation, maybe even adoration!Last edited by Cecilia; 09-20-2019, 12:40 PM.Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah RiverComment

Translation is “wannabe like them!” Wannabe so flush I’ll feel like grownup Halloween trick or treater who’s eaten so many Hersey’s that can’t even consider unwrapping Godiva Dark Chocolate Raspberry Soufflé Truffle.Last edited by Cecilia; 09-20-2019, 12:37 PM.

Wish I could find some pottery around here...I know its got to be around....only luck I've had with pottery finds is in florida.....that or the pottery barnBenny / Western Highland Rim / TennesseeComment

I’m sure it’s there where you are at. It takes a good eye to see it. This one I actually missed it a couple of times then saw it on the 3rd pass. One time I was with a friend and walked past a half of a pot cause I thought it was a log. Boy did I get the rubbing the rest of the day when he found it 🙃NW Georgia,Comment
