If any of you all are interested I can post
an endless array of pottery from many states.
Please post yours also.
Here is some from FL.

That is something I never found.

Rob, do you find triangle points? If you do,
there should be pottery.

Yep NC that's from to much saltpeter in the grog.

Here is one I picked up near Bridgeport Al in the 70s;

Have a bunch of painted pottery from the SW and a bowl that is painted and about 95% complete. The bowl was a gift in about 25 pieces that I glued back together.

I quit picking up the unpainted stuff but do pick up the embossed pottery.

Eric, There is not much missing from that pot.
I wish I could find one like that.

Jeb, I sure would like to see some. Especially the reconstructed one

Very cool bowl. Nice puzzle work.
Is it from NM, AZ? I recall you were wanting to
find out what mastic to use to reconstruct
your bowl. What did you use?

Thanks, I used Elmers glue. The white glue that you buy in the school materials section in the store.

I would glue a couple of pieces and use those little plastic clamps to hold them into place. Seemed to work good.

That grey fox in the back ground is another story. I shot it with a recurve bow that I paid a quarter,$.25 cents for at a yard sale.

How do you all dare to collect artifacts? Just curious

Zuma · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2015, 02:45:45 pm »

I don't any more. I used to hunt them on friends farms and river banks.
You can't keep up with the changing laws any more so I let it go.
Plus everyone is out there since the internet.
You can still surface collect in many states but you better check
the laws the day you go .LOl

I collected artifacts through most of the 70s and had a pretty good collection. I gave my collection to my son and granddaughter the other day to make sure it stayed in the family. My son wouldn't take the bowl because there is no way to prove it was obtained legally, it was by 70s laws (dug) but today they would put me under the jail.

A few years ago my neighbor and I went on a management red stag hunt in Argentina on Ted Turners ranch. My neighbor's son was running a hunting camp for the rich and famous there. I was really amazed at the pottery shards everywhere along the river. Many large enough to see the designs. There were some tiny very well made arrowheads there as well. I had been to Chile before and there they have no problems displaying all types of Indian relics unlike us. I found the arrowheads and tools there to be somewhat crude as apposed to the ones we saw in Argentina. We were not allowed to pick up any type of artifact which was a major disappointment. There was a cave that had red ocher paintings on the ceiling, but my pictures did not come out very well. Never found a pottery shard in Wyoming. Joe
