Decided to do a little float down the Brazos with family and friends today. There were several of gravel and sand bars exposed due to the river being low. After seeing posts on here from Johnny and others who say these are great locations for arrowheads I knew I had to do a little looking. The first gravel bar turned up alot of good size pieces of flint as well as alot of chips and shards. My wife, found what appears to be the bottom half of a good size point. She grew up hunting points in and around Granbury and can spot an arrowhead faster than anyone I know.
Second gravel bar has alot more sand and finer rock. Again my wife makes the first find. She finds a small round piece that almost looked like a small worn nut. A short time later she finds a second that looked a round bead. I finally came thru and found the small rectangular piece that had a hole drilled in one corner. I found a couple more pieces, one of which I was able to identify as a bead made from clamshell. I cant identify the others and am really interested in identifying the rectangular piece. It almost looks like there are etchings on the piece but I cant tell what they are.
Can anyone offer up any information on these pieces? I used the cap off of a coke bottle to compare size.
All in all, a fun day floating down the river with friends and made even better with the finds!
