Rocks... who is finding some?

Nice little sugar quartz point. I guarantee you there are more around there.

Ever go to a prime field after a rain and find (1) no points and (2) fresh footprints on the rows you had planned to walk?

Yep. I have very few 'secret' sites to hunt rocks on. I travel different ways to work so I can watch what fields are plowed and ready to walk after a rain. I also like to hit the fields that produce the older artifacts first. The more rocks you find, the more you just want to hunt the sites that produce paleo and early archaic points more that late archaic and woodland culture sites. I like to hunt them all but it is like fishing, go to big bass hole first.

I hate finding foot prints but they cant find them all and I have often found points right in the foot prints of other hunters.

What can you tell me about this point? It does not appear to be as well made as some I have found, but it sure was a nice surprise to an unexpecting turkey hunter.

It appears to be a woodland period stemmed point. Not sure of the type but I think I got the age right. Quartz is harder to work than flint/chert so the quartz artifacts can be a little thick. We have quartz around here but they didn't use it much because they had much better material to work with around here. I bet quartz was the go to material in your area. Around Montgomery, AL is full of quartz.

Put a new video up for some of the arrowheads I found in May:

Getting hot and crops up so not much time left to field hunt. Back to creeks and river banks.

Well my parents sold their house and they are in the process of moving... So my house is being used as a mini-storage. My dad found his old arrow head collection from when he was a kid. Some are from the Coldwater, MS area. Some are from when he stayed with his aunt down around Water Valley, MS.

He has a ton of flakes and some unfinished / very rough started ones. The best one in the top left he found in the drip line of his parents house (where my grandparents still live) when they put on a addition.
