Pretty cool find

[Butts2]

Located Turkey 3 weeks ago
Saturday evening after working 7 hours for the company that puts food on my table - went to see if the Turkey were still roosting in the same area as the season starts here in 5 days. They were not there, but I still found them.

Drove down a different road climbed half a mountain (Mountain colors were brown,dark brown, light brown, some gray)to get on the opposite side of the valley to get behind and above the roost tree to glass....45 minutes hike in.

Came to a pretty level area

Found awesome "Indian" campsite? Various colors of Obsidian,black/green/white that had been Knapped (15 pieces) laying on a small 10" dia. stone surrounded by fist sized stones(assume to catch stop good fragments from flying off)- small burn area about 12" square with rocks sitting/formed perfectly for cook area. 15"Dia. Log in front for sitting. From the Log he could cook and Knapp Obsidian at the same time while overlooking a field.
Over looks a field where 30 minutes later there were 50 deer.......200 years ago there were probably 50 Deer there as well.

Did not take the Obsidian pieces, going to go back and take pictures.
Many of the pieces were very close to being Broadheads.
DOW said thanks, you told us where its at we will go check it out.......???? How the heck are you going to find it if nobody had found it previously?!
Guess it really did not matter........I thought it was awesome and I was walking on air for awhile. Maybe good mojo coming my way

Sometimes it is fun to just sit there and dream.  Not certain how that there log seat would stick around for 200 years, but the rocks sure could.

Either way, that sounded pretty neat.  Thx

Sounds cool. Definitely a cool find. Curious about the log though...wouldn't it have decomposed by now?

[maineac]

Cool find for sure.  I'll look forward to the picts.

When I stumble across links to the past like that, it always leaves me with a sense of belonging.  Amazing, when you think about it.

You have to be careful you don't stumble onto a meth lab in these parts.

I'd say that is "pretty cool".

[Richie]

Awesome , any pics ?          

[RC]

Awesome . Most everwhere I hunt I find Indian artifacts.Really cool to pick up a perfect arrow head and wonder where its been. Did it feed a family or stop an enemy? Or just get lost from a bad shot like lots of mine do.RC

Pictures will have to wait as the Turkey season starts in 4 days. The find was in a Cedar forested area here in CO. Pulled up on the internet that one discovered Cedar tree had 1,460 rings and that Cedar trees in the western U.S. can take 6 to 10 centuries to decompose.
I think I am going to have to sit there for a bit when I go back to take pictures

At our archery club property on long island members have found two white quartz arrow heads, a spear point and a scrapper. It's nice to know that others before us where roaming the same woods shooting stickbows.

That's awesome!  I've only even found one arrowhead here in the creek after a heavy rain.  It was greyish and about 3" long.
