RE: Ancient Digs!
K, searched through all my photo's in the computer and found some of my artifact collection. This doesnt include the box of shards, jars of flakes, of many of my other various finds but a nice selection nonetheless. And yes, im addicted to these things too!! I think i was meant to play in the dirt all my life.
This first pic is the pride and joy of my collection. My probe went through it and shattered it but its all back together minus where the probe went through.
Next is some of my older east coast finds including 2 game balls i found in Jersey hanging out with Digger George a few years back. Those little buggers were just a few feet from each other too. almost like they lay where they were dropped. I bout shat myself when i found them. Theyre my second favorite.
And some of the midwest stuff. The largest point in the bottom picture is the 4 1/4" spear point. I believe this is a Sedalia which is mid to late Archaic about 3 to 5 thousand years old. A majority of this type of point comes from Missouri and not as common here in Illinois.
