Flint-knappers etc. will be interested. [westerndigs.org]
Love this stuff! I had a friend a couple years ago who was a serious artifact hunter, scouring riverbanks in Oregon and Washington. He had a practiced eye in spotting things most folks would not notice and it was fun to learn a few things. I was able to find a few small points and other items, and purchased some things from a friend of his, serious collector with several small rooms of native artifacts and displays.
Cool. When I was in archaeology I worked with Bruce Bradley, one of the foremost flint knappers in the US at the time. he was recognized by James Mitchner in his novel, "Centennial" for his knapping advice. We worked on a site outside Show Low, AZ. together. I also worked with Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian on a 13,000-20,000 BP early man site in NE Colorado in the late 1970's.
