Just like a "millenial" with a cell phone.. Gives me a "crick".
This was in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina in Richmond County near the PeeDee River about 15 mins South of the Uwharries.
Walp, let's give this a shot.. I've been reading... and reading... and reading. Watched a pile'o'videos. 'Cause I know my hunt club was an Indian hot spot. Only thing is the older members knew that, too. And they've collected a good bit of it over 40 or so years. The sad thing being that as they've died off their kids generally sold off the the old man's collection. Far as I know there's only one of'em left and he's s'posed to be bringin in a few cases to show some samples of what he's found there over the years.
..So now here's me out rummaging the place now to see if they left me anything after all that research. Best I can tell nobody has been in the creeks or rivers. Mebbe that'll help if there's anything to what the SenecaRelics guys say. I will say that if nothin else I've been seriously entertained by their shenanigans. Anyways, I was headin to somma that "high ground next to water" when the 4 wheeler started "crunching" down the 2 track. Low-and-behold here were spalls spilled all out in the road and the surrounding area (I never knew what they were before). I mean the fool things are EVERYWHERE I look. So being a master sleuth, I figger mebbe I best get off muh behind and have a look-see. And prolly like every other noob, started picking up anything that looked remotely "worked". After an hour or so and a pocket full of spalls diggin in my leg I had a coupla broke tips and several of what I think are scrapers. So I chuck out some of the spalls and right in front of the 4 wheeler lays a complete in the middle of the road. How weird is that? A "happy dance" ensues since it's my first arrowhead on my first day knowingly looking. I roll over the hill to where I was originally goin and there in the ditch lays this "magnum" broke. Nice to find but mighty heartbreaking.
..Anyways, ran outta light and the next day rode a lot of places that may be promising and stopped anywhere I tripped over something resembling "material". I'm thinkin rhyolite or somethin similar for this area. Kinda black or real dark blue with white-ish specs innit. Found a few other sites. seems anything kindof in the area of the river and the big creek that was high-ish ground held somethin, anyways.
Hurricane Michael still has water levels a l'il high but I did manage to check a few rock bars. No points or "evidence", but I did find a coupla "suspicious" lookin rocks I figgered didn't cost me anything to drag outta the woods or toss back into'em. So I'll make an attempt at posting a few pics of the assorted mess.
Here goes nothin. d:^)
