Camp on a big spring

[Flintfinder AR]

Found what seems to have been a decent sized camp this weekend. I'm calling it The big spring camp because it is located on a flat uphill from a very large spring. I've only been able to look around for about 30-45 minutes, but already have a few decent finds. There sure is a lot of Flakes in the area. The site is located in North Central Arkansas. There is an old house place on the flat, and according to , tmy grandfather, there use to be a big garden there where many birdpoints were found.

Thanks! It was nice to find a new place to look, I've been having a hard time finding much lately at my other spots.

Looks like you are on to a real good site that may produce artifacts representing a very long time. I will be interested in seeing what else this site produces for you. Good luck.

Thanks! I certainly hope you are right, it is only about a mile and a half or so from my best site. My family as a whole as found well over 100 points there. I'm curious to see if point types match up well.

Sounds great ! Vulture the site...By that I mean find the outer perimeter, circle it and go in for the harvest ...Good show!

I hope you didn’t have to drag that mortar very far. That thing is huge!

Fortunately it was right near a road I could drive on! Sorry it took so long to reply, I appreciate the comments!

Went back to this site today. There's not a lot of bare ground to search. The only spots too search are ruts in the road. I really like the spot. There are tons of Flakes, and at least 4 or 5 different material types, or at least color variances. I don't know materials well. Didn't find much today. One broke that would of been a dandy, and some sort of large scraper with one smooth face and very sharp edges. This camp is very cool. There is an old cc camp located right where the most productive spot is. The old foundations are still there. The spring down in the holler is also very strange. The water comes out in dozens of spots in probably 60-70 yard stretch of the hill. The strangest part is that the water comes out of the ground about 50 feet up from the creek bed. I know the info isn't really about artifacts, but I thought it would be cool to describe the area! I'll take pictures next time I'm there.

Last one could be a scraper. I have a field near a spring I look on just as soon as they are done with the harvest. It’s my winter go to spot. After a good rain look for washout areas. They always produce for me. Good Luck
