Ancient Digs! + In Situs!

Wow! I was wondering if other bottle diggers would have any relics to post? Bent twig knocked it outta the park!!! What a Pendant!!! I love the slate artifacts from Ohio and Indiana! I would LOVE to find a nice banner or BIRD stone someday!!!We just don't find slate down this way very often. It really is amazing that these pieces can last FOREVER in the ground and that we could find them thousands of years later!!!
Thanks alot for the compliments Redbeard! I've had alot of pics published in online magazines and in artifact books. It's nice to know that others appreciate them as much as I do! I hear you on the camera! When I first started taking mine it seemed like a jinx. It seemed the same with bottle digging to, at first. After a while I realized that no camera, or anything else for that matter, is going to change the outcome of a hunt or dig! You are meant to find what you find... it IS what it IS! I sure do wish I would have thought of it alot earlier on! I've made it a point with my bottle digging to document as many digs as possible. I had my camera with me on my first dump digs and on my first privy dig! It has definatly NOT been a jinx or a curse!!! The hardest part with arrowhead hunting is to not reach down and snatch it up before you get your camera out!!! LOL

This is one I found in Oklahoma. I saw the backend and one shoulder sticking out in a plowed field and knew it had to be broke. The place had just been bulldozed and then plowed. I reached down to pick it up and my hand pulled off of it. At that point I got REALLY excited because it is very large for a point from Oklahoma. I pulled it out and it was perfect! (The upper right shoulder is not broke, it was made that way.) It does not show it but the lines are a light purple color. Very thin and has great torque to the blade. By the way, it is 5 15/16" inches long. Made my day for sure.
