Certainly looks like it was worked. Don't know what it is though.
I went for a short walk this morning. Got rain last night so I thought they might be visible. Didn't find anything except chips. I'll go again soon.

Maybe some type of scraper? I'd post a picture of that here https://forums.arrowheads.com/

Found a couple of little things. I think the tip of a broken point, and maybe a scrapper of some sort.

Did you join that forum, Hillrunner? When we found a nice point about 5 years ago I tried joining that group to help learn about the point and others. They never allowed me to join, and so I found the Treasurenet group, and they've been helpful, but don't bend over backwards to tell people what they have. If someone asks, they might get 1 or 2 replies, unless it's really special. The good posters are experts, it's really impressive.

I actually think north central KS is a known hot spot for indian artifacts. I can tell ya... I have a lifetime of playing outside and never found any until I looked for them. Even then it took some research and the right spot to get anywhere with it.

I'm a member of that site. They've been very helpful and I've made a few contacts through the site that were very helpful. Weird that you couldn't join.

Well, you come up anytime and school me.
We have a small valley at the confluence of a small spring fed creek and a major creek. I can’t believe it’s never been inhabited. Maybe I’ll go down tomorrow and see if these rains make anything stand out.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a good point about not finding them until you actually look for them. Our old home farm where my dad grew up and where most of the good stuff was discovered by he and his dad, is no longer owned by the family, and the renter of it now is a guy I know well. I asked if he's found anything and he says no. He's used the moldboard plow in there, and has gone so far as to take a few pieces of flat pasture that weren't farmed or tilled since before my grandpa bought that farm in the 40s, and broke them out by flipping the soil over and now farming yearly row crops. It's almost sickening to me to think what's laying there. He's just not the kind of guy who has any interest in keeping his eyes peeled for an arrowhead.

Yeah IIRC you had to wait on getting an email to be able to sign up, and I kept trying and they never sent an email.

This may or may not help T-Max, but it works for me. If you look for high spots near creeks that have been disced or plowed you can up your odds a lot. The red marks are where I find 90% of what I have found. A guy can put a lot of miles on their shoes being in the wrong spots!

Any chance the guy will let you walk it?

I've got three little knobs that fit that to a T. Only problem is, they are the only spots I haven't tilled since they would be prone to erosion. But now you got me thinking and I will look on the lower slopes coming off of those. I did disc those last spring to plant my soybeans. My drawing was beginning to look way too much like a face not to add the frown...
Red is the knobs and the green lines are the slopes I may go look.
