Took a walk in the field behind the house today. Wasn't finding much, several small flakes, pulled a pretty scraper and a smallish preform looking piece. On the way back in I got really lucky. Was walking back to the house through an unturned field that was planted with beans this past summer. It was covered in the stalks and chaff that was left by the combine. I was almost back to the house, not paying much attention to anything, when I spotted a bit of red hiding under the refuse. Turns out it was a point! I was very surprised and happy. No idea how I spotted it or how it wasn't damaged by the plow or tires but I'm glad to have it. Thinking it may be a Robbins or maybe even a Burkett. What do y'all think?

Lol. This one is just about as red as they get and it is filled with tiny bits of crinoid fossils.Last edited by Broken Arrow; 11-25-2018, 06:37 PM.

Man I wanted to get out today myself but a cold front with 60 mph wind and sandstorm shut me down.. I love the sandstorms, they blow the artifacts up !

That's wild, I can't even imagine what a sandstorm would be like! I look forward to seeing what you find when you get back out. We got some pretty good rain today and the winds were quite strong here as well. Suppoused to be pretty cold here this week but I'll still be out there in the fields.

I gotta say, that’s a great find. You know as well as the rest of us, whole ones are getting fewer every day....👍👍Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.

Bean can be hard to look on I actually avoid them fields. Ive found out that cattle corn is even tougher to look on after the harvest. Takes a keen eye to spot one in those field types.

Josie-I've got a very keen eye when it comes to spotting color differences and other anomalies..that and I just walked right up on it. A little luck and a little natural skill.Last edited by Broken Arrow; 11-27-2018, 08:28 PM.

Surfacehunter- Bean, corn and wheat fields are the norm around here. That's all I hunt other than the occasional creek. All of them are hard to hunt if they haven't been turned after the harvest. You're right about corn being really tough to hunt after the harvest. Almost not worth the time to hunt an unturned field unless you know where to look.
