Bent twig ,awesome finds ! My son in law has relatives in Ohio who farm ,been telling him we need to go there he saw your collection and said we are going!One time many years ago when i was trying to sell some points for my brother i went to a flea market in Ohio ,it was funny no one seemed interested ,then an older fellow says to me lots of artifacts around this area got to be rare stuff to get any attention here ,he was right i did not sell a thing . Put them on ebay sold them all but a few i wanted to keep.Someday i will find a Paleo!That Crescent is unbelieveable ,what a find ,finding that could cause a heart attack!

Some artifact hunting sites.

Rough plowed fields... sometimes I chase the tractor!

Farmers hate this, but it brings em out!!! I will reset plants for them when they let me walk. Always offer to work for permission!

Disced up and dry. This one is waiting for a good gulley washer!!!

Creeks can be good to, especially if they are near a site you find points!

I work in construction and gain alot of permissions through contacts. These can be difficult to hunt, but WORTH the time and effort!!!

Put your mud boots on and stay outta the low spots!

Happy Hunting!

Hey glass is made from water ground stone and shells(sand) so some of the glass we collect could contain stone artifacts ground up by the sea ,probably reaching there but who knows.

Lex that Lost Lake and Transitional Paleo are drool worthy. Great site pics!

Here is a Kirk I found awhile back. It is as thin and sharp as when it was made. It could cut ya! It was sticking about 2 inches staight up out of the soil when I found it. I walked by it and looked down and thought it was a leaf. I tapped it with my rock stick and realized is wasn't.[:D]

Here is some more New Englands points I have found over the years...the bottom center is a broken clovis!!! it would have been a monster. Fluted almost all the way to the tip on one side...talk about a heart breaker, very very rare for NE.
