Do you know whats worse than not fining anything? Thinking you found a gun flint and a broken ax only to take them home, clean them and realize they are just natural rocks. A momoclinic gypsum crystal and a chunk of weathered sandstone. It wasn't a complete loss, I learned a little about crystal structures and did find a broken piece of a hopewell core. Also, I spotted both from a distance and in the water, so I know my eyes are still working. The shapes were spot on. Apparently gypsum only forms this type of crystal under perfect conditions, so that's something I guess. Hopefully next time out, real artifacts.
