Went with my long time hunting buddy to some new spots we have only recently got permission to hunt. He and I were both off yesterday so we kinda talked ourselves into going. With the proper dress it was a great day over all.
One of the fields is a tobacco field my partners uncle farms. We hunted it once last year around Thanksgiving. Very non-descript with only a small creek skirting the property boundry. Last trip there a few promising points and peices of points were found with lots of what I call midden or flakes. Some large enough to call "paleo scrapers". My partner and I have talked often about that site and the "randomness" of its location. Long story short we went back yesterday and I believe I may have found 3/4ths or more of a Cumberland point maybe an Agate Basin. Maybe it is an un-notched Benton. It is unfluted, extremely thin and very well made. The other photo is an example of what I am calling a "paleo scraper". It is obviously worked on the one side with the underside being smooth. Smooth like it was knapped straight off the node and about 6 inches in length. I am pretty stoked about the find and can't wait till it is time to plant tobacco.
On a side note. After I got back and looked at the pictures I noticed the cylindrical object sitting at about 10:30 position in the first "Cumberland" photo and about 9:30 position in the second. May have to make another trip to determine what that is...lol
