Still on the Hunt

[SurfaceHunter]

I still didn't finish the creek I have to work early tomorrow and a long day. I did find a crude chopper but left it might find it again and decide to keep it

Crude chopper

That corner notch is a beauty!!!

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks I just don't find many like it. My exact words were when I saw it was. Oh Wow!!

[Josie]

You had a great day SH! Really like the material on the first!

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks Josie it's a common color for this area but I never get tired of finding it

Hi Glenn. At first glance I thought you got a dandy Kirk Corner Notch. But on closer examination I think you got a Decatur because of the indented base and what looks to be "struck" ends of the base and what looks to be opposite side beveling as typical on Lost Lakes and Dovetails. Decaturs are much rarer to find than Kirks. I believe your point was used as a knife because of its size. The people that made Decaturs used the same style for knives and dart points. A great score for sure. Your photos are great, too.

Thanks Joe I will look that up later tonight. Base is very different

That’s corner notch is absolutely beautiful congratulations and great pictures. Those geese can be quite bossy while on their nests.

[SurfaceHunter]

Yes the goose was giving me the stink eye as I walked by. I was attacked by a big goose when I was a child. I admire them from a distance now days

[redrocks]

Wow Glenn that's the black beauty. Congrats man .. u had a stellar day. Nice finds...pottery too!? Nice pics looks beautiful. Go back there soon!

[SurfaceHunter]

2 different creeks but I will get back. First creek doesn't drain off fast so might be a while. Other creek probably next week. That is where I found all the rest. I think I might have the other half of the big blade I just have to find it. Thanks Red

[Glacial Pebble]

Awesome day out, love that corner notch!!

[SurfaceHunter]

I believe its going to be the center piece for my 2021 frame. I will wash it tomorrow and post the clean version

[smbore]

looks like a good time nice stuff.

[SurfaceHunter]

The finds were a popping thats for sure. I didn't even post all the broken point pieces. Thanks

[SurfaceHunter]

So here is the cleanest it's going to be. Sometimes I have scrubbed a point and the dirt is actually holding them together so I don't scrub hard now. Base is grounded last picture

[Benji]

Very nice point surface....you had a great day for sure man.....nice finds

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks Benji it was fun still getting leg cramps tonight. It's all fun until the pain comes but I will still do it again. When are you going?

[Benji]

Soon i hope surface, April hasnt been a very good month for me in regards to the hunt and having time to do it.

I had a little turtle like that as a kid, kept it for a couple of years, painted a dot on its shell, set it free in a lake across the street, kept feeding it..I’d see it every now an then for several years

[SurfaceHunter]

I was walking and flipping rocks and saw the color then realized what it was. I had one to as a child that bowl got super smelly when not washed. Don't worry I set it downstream so I wouldn't step on it and so a bird couldn't get it.

Not sure how I missed this epic thread. What a great hunt! Black beauty is a centerfold. Great pics too. Felt like tagging along.

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks Tom I haven't been back out since. I got a new position at work and it's longer days maybe next week I can squeeze in a hunt.
