A few finds have rolled in as the rains overtook southern New England! I took to the fields, and the shorelines of Narraganset bay to hopefully make some finds. I also have a few to share from my new creek which sadly has been running hard with all of this rain :/. I guess all good things come to an end. Even if it’s just temporary.
Starting with an exciting find, which looks as if it could be an old knife or spear point? The flaking appears to be very delicate and deliberate. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Charlie jay and I have spoken about this piece, and we’ve come to the conclusion that it could be early.
Next is the red rhyolite bifurcate, a find that I truly never thought I would make. When I picked it up, I was looking at the point all wrong, and even asked my hunting partner if he thought it was a turkey tail... well he must’ve wanted to crack me across the head, because we were both looking at an obviously broken bifurcate.
next find, is a unique little triangle, that saw plenty of resharpening through its life span.. a happy find, and a day saver in my fields. From the same spot I also picked up the quartz point which could be a bare island, wading river or orient related point, but I think it’s likely I’ll never know for sure.
and last but not least I have a heartbreaker from the sea. A heavily worn fox creek base, which would’ve been a beast of a knife! Sad that it’s broken, but I was happy to have found it! This find represents one of my best beach finds to date, so I’m very happy to have picked this piece up!
Thanks for looking! Happy thanksgiving,
Ben
