1/25/12 Quick Walk Thru the Rodeo Arena

We got some good rain over the last 2 days. It died off this evening so I headed out to a local site. It is as close to a plowed field as I can get. It's about a 2 1/2 acre rodeo arena right on top of a good camp site. I only got in about 30 minutes of hunting before the rain started back. I'm happy with this for that amount of time.

The middle 1 is made from petrified wood. I have found several bird points and Garys in this arena. I have also found the pole end for 2 celts, 1 Paleo point, and hundreds of pottery shards. I'm waiting for the rest of 1 of the celts.

Good looking site and finds!

Not bad Chris! Looks good and muddy.

Cool finds.

Not to pick on the humble Gary point, but if I was a rider and got kicked off and landed on a Gary, I'd be mad. If it was a scotty or clovis, not so much.

that little one looks like it was a nice point

The only thing that gets me about this site is the owner. He cares absolutely ZERO about artifacts. I have frre range of all his property. He told me when he first plowed the arena they he knows he busted a few pots. He said he would be plowing and pottery chunks would be everywhere, and he just kept going. Him telling me that almost made me sick.

Looks like you had a good day Chris. A little rain always helps.
