Nice screen shots Mike!
I would be Happy to find a tube banner... even if it was plain! Any idea what type of rock it's made of? Hardstone? Slate?
Hey Redbeard, we're hoping to hit a Paleo layer down deeper! He has not hit bottom yet, but feels that it is near. The point types coming out at 8 feet deep are early archaic... Palmer, Kirk, Cobbs, Big Sandy, Motley, Benton, drills, grooved axes, bone awls, etc. He has a NICE frame full of points put together plus a lot of broken and common stuff. I should have taken some pics of his finds while I was there. I did get a pic of one of the axes he dug... a nice greenstone full grooved! I'll post a pic of it later when I get the chance. I don't know if he will have anything carbon dated, but it's a thought.

Here it is! Has some ancient damage to the bit, but it's a nice one. Nice overall polish and I love the size... perfect for knocking heads!!!

Crawling through the mud and briars of Eliot Maine
those are amazing, I'm really envious. As much good luck as I've had digging/diving for bottles over the years, I've had no luck finding arrowheads, and there were plenty of Indians here in coastal Maine. I'd be interested in trading some bottles for any arrowheads that you're not too attached to. I dont know the value of Indian heads, i just want to give them to my kids. PM me if interested - thanks , nice job hunting them down

Hit me up in a PM Bram... I tried yours and it's full! If we could get any RAIN down this way I'd be in arrowhead hunting heaven!!! Got some good spots that will be Prime when they see some rain. Wouldn't hurt none for bottle digging either! The ground is almost TOO hard to probe and when you do dig, it's SO dusty that you almost need a mask. :( Come on FALL!!!

Here's a frame of finds from 2010. Didn't get to hunt much this year, but at least I did get to find a few. The three in the top center are my favorites. I found Two of these at Work and one at the pumpkin patch last fall!!! Nice when one of your hobbies finds it's way into your personal life! :) Many more rocks out there to find and one of my resolutions for 2011 is to do More rock hunting and bottle digging!!!
