This is my favorite time of year, always stuff to find. I'm going to post up the ones that I find to be the most interesting. As usual, some pics aren't the greatest and I may be missing an insitu here or there.
Anyway, one of my favorite sites got turned over recently and I had some pretty good luck. Seemed to be more productive than usual. I've heard other hunters talk about fields that may produce little one year, then a bunch the next year... I wonder why.
The picture doesn't show it, but this one was standing on a little pillar of dirt.
Little ding on the base, but otherwise a really cool one. Thought it was hornfels until I washed it. I still have no idea what the material is, even with the new expanded guide.
Unfortunate break on this tool.
Not sure what this piece is, a hole punch?
Only one from this next site. This is one of my favorite places to hunt because it gives up good pieces and it's so close by, but they never turned it over. I was feeling lazy one day and decided not to go out, then with about two hours left until sundown I had that feeling like I was missing out. I popped in there for a bit. Even though it was the old corn surface that I have hunted to hell, I still managed to find this guy.
Next site is a weird one. It's a small field that turns up quite a few flakes, but no points or tools ever unless you count the one broken tip Shedhunter found. Now please let me know if this is just a rock, but I have a strong feeling that this rock has been ground down. Take a look, what's the story?
A few here from an old reliable site, I'll be damned if I ever leave there empty handed.
Here's one heart breaker from a site that I like quite a bit. Sigh, this one stung. Nothing else from here unfortunately.
I took a trip over to the place where I found my first point. Now this is a tough spot to find anything really. The majority of trips I find nothing, I'm lucky if I leave there with a flake, and if I do find something, it's just ONE thing. This day I found three.
I hit both of these with the stick before I took the pics.
The little bit of quartz you see on this one was the only thing peeking out when I hit it.
And a very water worn one with a broken shoulder from the shore of the same site.
These last ones are my first finds from this next particular site.
Thanks to the new expanded typology I can discern that this is probably Hingham Rhyolite. I like this one a lot.
And this piece was a real heart breaker, I looked all over for the rest of it, but the area is pretty massive and the search felt futile. Maybe I'll come across it eventually...
And cleaned up.
I always appreciate answers to any questions I have, and thanks for looking!
