Smallie Scouting the Russian

Planted some Tomatoes up the River then grabbed the Mini-X and the dog and headed up river to do a short drift the wind was blowing pretty hard so we decided to just walk down river. Caught a few smallies up to about 14" then on the walk back found a couple of arrow heads and a nice spearpoint. Saw a few larger fish stating to bed up.

You sure have a Knac for finding those things,

 very Kool....

Great artifacts, Mike.  Thanks for sharing that.   

Very cool Mike, gonna have to get out there soon. 

Cool artifacts!  Thanks for sharing...

Mike you bring the best stuff wherever you go. Congrats on the finds. After I saw Allens spearpoint. I thought that was pretty uncommon. Do you find them all the time? Thanks for posting, Craig

Great find, Mike. Those are "archer's wants"!

Cool stuff Mike, sounds like another great afternoon on the river.

Mike-

You've got a great eye for those things. I took my boys looking for not the other weekend. We found lots of obsideon though. Even tried to make our own...

Can't wait to give it another go out there.

Fun trip, My grandmother lived to hunt arrow heads and fish, She never ate a fish could not stand the taist.  Congrats spearheads are hard to come by.

Mike congrats on the smallies and the awesome artifacts you found.

Do you find them all the time?

I can usually find a couple of arrowheads or scrapers but Spearpoints are very rare.
The Russian River/Dry Crk Valley was a big time trading route back in the day and there are a lot of Indian Sites under Lake Sonoma. The Sebastapool area was a huge hunting ground if you can find a box canyon you will find some pretty nice points. most of the stuff I find is pretty beat up from the river. Here is a pretty cool site with a lot of finds from the west.http://www.westernartifacts.com/farwest.htm

WOW, I have never found anything that cool in my life!   I have always just thought that all that could be found are already taken!

Great find! Thanks for the report.

  Hey Mike
  Way cool!! I'm on that beach every day putting people out on the river and I look for points all the time so far no love.  During the 1840's their were 200-300 Indians living on Digger's Bend. I think they were Wapo or Pomo the white settlers call them Diggers. One time I found a willow fish trap while digging in a mud bank looking for baby Lampray eels. I was blown away it had to be 150 years old and looked like it was made the week before.
