Finally dug a nice point here at home!

Well, I have continued to find flakes and pottery on both sides of the swamp behind my house, on what's left of my grandfather's farm. Although I've found 2 or 3 points on the surface, I've dug and sifted a bunch of test holes, and haven't dug another point since the one my wife found a couple of years ago...until today! I had about 45 minutes before dark this evening, and so I tried a new spot where I had found a handful of quartz flakes after a good rain last week. Found a couple pieces of pottery almost right away, so I kept at it. Then suddenly out of the sand pops this nice little Morrow Mountain!
Slow start to the year so far, with this just being my 2nd find so far, but I'll take it!

Thanks guys. Steve, I will be digging some more!
Sam: "A nest of them." I like that terminology, and I sure hope you're right!
