I have some ranch country in Kimble Co. Tx. and have been hunting artifacts for several yrs on the place.
Have had mixed results, mostly surface hunting.
About a year ago, I found a place close to a dry creek bed that has produced several good points and broken ones, also some nice scrapers. The area is covered with flint flakes and I am pretty sure that there was a camp there long ago, but I cannot find any hard evidence of such. No burnt rock middens, nothing that would normally be associated with a camp ( other than a lot of flakes ). The whole pasture was chained several years ago to get rid of the cedar, and am wondering if that destroyed all traces of the camp?
After a good rain, I can usually find a few points so the area is still giving up its secrets.
Anyone out there have any ideas as to what I might look for?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
