Arrowhead hunting 2024. Finally found My First pendent! 

Yes! So clear. And all within the lighter colored section. That was planned. (Or maybe a squatch😊)

Yeah and the material is that grainy chert not sure what it’s called but I’ve rarely seen anything that was well made out of it.

Thanks I’m definitely glad to have been lucky enough to have found those pieces in the condition that the river was in.

Thank you. I’m excited with it finished or not I guess just more curious about why it was so close to being finished.

I work mechanical electrical maintenance and also Farm. So I spend a lot of time working on stuff. And I tend to get off work and go to the river quite often. 🤣

It’s definitely going to be good this weekend been jealous seeing all the boat traffic while I’m having to work. That pendent is just crazy because it was so close to being finished. I’m still happy with it though.

@@RiverRatArtifacts Yeah, I'm with you man, I had to work all weekend too, and it looks like the river is forecast to shoot back up next week. The Memorial Day crowd will hunt the heck out of it today. But at least I have a couple hundred acres of fields disced to hunt next week.

This has been the best weekend so far. I was hoping the water would stay down for a few days so I could hunt the water lines in a few areas but it seems like it would be a least next week or so.

Thanks we find a wide variety of different types of stuff in our area. Haven’t found any hematite . But that’s the joy in it all you just never know what will be laying out there next.

@@RiverRatArtifacts absolutely, I found a broke hematite point a few months ago, it’s very water worn and you can’t really see any detail in it, it took me a minute to figure out it was hematite, I’ve never seen a point made out of hematite before, this particular creek was a village site I believe, found 3 drilled pieces in that section of creek too, two complete pieces, what I thought was a pottery pendant but people have since told me is a spindle whorl, one drilled piece that I’ve never positively identified, possibly a boat stone and what I believe is a broken tubular bannerstone, found that within yards of where I found that hematite blade, it’s very hard to find artifacts in creeks around here, hardly any debutauge or anything but this particular creek is absolutely loaded with artifacts so I’m pretty certain it was a village site, biggest pottery sherds I’ve ever came across as well, I wait every few months to see if anything has washed up, it would be nice if all the creeks around here were holding artifacts like that, anyway bud, thanks for sharing, Happy Memorial Day!!!

We are lucky enough to have some great areas we have places that are just littered with flint and chert it you could spend hours on. Hopefully you will have a good memorial weekend and happy hunting!

Thank you!
