Here Go. I Got Some Stoneaged Stuff

I had to figger it out.

But arrow heads are stone aged stuff.



Here is tha oldest, and most percious
one.



It is 8,000 to 10,000 years old. That is
stone aged, even in Europe.



Thanks fer lOOkin,

	Wow! What a nice looking group of arrow heads.  Do you find those just by walking around or do you have a way of detecting for them?

I found them in a plowed field by tha Buffalo River
after a rain.

Tha rain washes away enough dirt to expose many
flakes. Turn over tha flakes, and ever so often one
will be an arrowhead.

If you are in a good place, that is.

I lOOk for diamonds like that too.

Never found a diamond though....

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog

tabdog, and anyone interested;

There are a few simple rules in "looking" for this stuff:
A) find a spot that might have been open and useful as a 'lookout spot;'
B) look for lots of flakes;
C) you can often find imperfect and/or unfinished pieces;
D) dry locations are good.

This follows for stuff in the last 5000 years, I'm not sure if the same rules hold for older stuff like that nice Clovis type point.

Up here, when I was a teen, at my uncle's ranch, on the Peace river, I found literally hundreds of locations, along the river side of the flats, which were never covered with timber. The knapper could sit, work and watch for game and any river traffic (human.)

I used to have a nice collection but a trailer, which I was living in, got totally trashed by teens... lost most of everything, including a nice ladies 'purse gun.' However... I will live.

This all happened a few years ago, so I guess I survived.

Stone age stuff is like gold, its where you find it, hmmmm that sounds weird, but I have found pieces in the middle of nowhere, fixing a mechanical problem, or a flat tire.

Its for sure metal locators won't work but ground radar could, if it had good enough definition for small articles, anyone want to toss about some designs?

Thoroughly enjoyed looking at what all you've found - hoping to see more soon. Sue

I just thought about it a little more and think I figured it out   :   Just any little rock poking through is what I'm guessing is what was meant.
