Aqua Man scores a Dalton

[SurfaceHunter]

we were out all day today went to 2 creeks. First was a bust for artifacts except something he found and I forgot to ask if I could post it but I’m guessing it’s something Rusty would drool over. Then we got done early and he talked me into going to another creek. Sorry rascal didn’t tell me there was so many downed trees. We had to limbo under them while in the yaks. Idk if you guys have ever tried to do that but it’s a tight fit going under trees while laying in the yak. Anyway finally after doing that about 6 times we landed on a nice gravel bar. We both found pottery and flake knives and material. He found a Dalton and I found a Morrow Mountain. I also found a little knife and a broken black and white point. I found a couple of scrapers to. But hey what a nice Dalton he found I have to admit I was a little jealous. All north Georgia surface finds, peace

Now for his Dalton ran out of pic space

[SurfaceHunter]

What’s this? Wood and metal very heavy to. Maybe Rusty will know

[Hoss]

if you blow up the picture you can see remanants of the old wood spokes . cool find.

[Aquaman]

Thanks Hoss and Glenn👍. This hub is very large so it must be a big wagon! Will clean it up.

[SurfaceHunter]

I see it on the metal section that’s cool you noticed that. There’s a lot of history in this area we live in

[Aquaman]

I’ll take a pic later if that’s ok. I’m beat!!! Great trip Glenn! Enjoyed it!

[SurfaceHunter]

Dang I fell asleep not long after I posted this now I woke up early. My neck and arms hurt that was a workout friend

[SurfaceHunter]

I’ll take a pic later if that’s ok. I’m beat!!! Great trip Glenn! Enjoyed it!

Tomorrow in the sunshine would be ideal

Man that’s a lot of cool stuff!! Congrats on the dalton, AquaMan!

[SurfaceHunter]

If I had only gone left instead of right, that’s the way it goes

[Glacial Pebble]

Adventurous day, that wagon wheel is very cool!

[SurfaceHunter]

I’m heavier than him so I told Aqua if he wanted it to put it in his yak he padded that thing through some rapids a couple of times but made it

[Artifascination]

Looks like y’all had an awesome day! Congrats on the finds man that’s some cool stuff!

[SurfaceHunter]

It was a long fun day we don’t get to hunt together often so we made it turn out good 7 hours later

Nice dalton and real neat wheel hub.

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks it was an adventure

[Creekclovis83]

Now that's some old wood lol. Very nice guys

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks Dalton and Dalton time frame artifacts are just as rare as Paleo around here wagon wheels I have found but never a hub of one. I know where I can go get a wheel right now. Owners might want it though might rescue it for them

Here’s a pic of the Dalton found yesterday and a soapstone Gorget fragment found at the same site a few months ago. I had found a Quad made from the same flint several years ago at a different creek. Can anyone identify the flint type? Thanks.

Looks like coastal plains chert to me but I’m not a lithics expert.

[redrocks]

Sweet point s man congrats. And real nice piece of soapstone

[Aquaman]

I think you’re right gfw!! Coastal Plains!

[redrocks]

Hey Glen . Nice finds man. Cool pottery too

[SurfaceHunter]

The round base MM saved my day I thought I wasn’t going to find a point. I probably would of never heard the end of it after he found that nice one
