Mason Co.:
Oh man....where to start. As GarGuy said, you are in an artifact-rich area to begin with. All those little streams and springs were essential to the early peoples who walked that country. I found a bunch of tools around a little spring we had on a ranch in San Saba. Look anywhere there is exposed ground for flint. Ranch roads are the best places to start. Got any creeks or springs on the property? Look there. Don't forget the larger tools like manos, metates and hide scrapers. Those are indicative of camp sites. Once they found a good camp they returned regularly to that same area so you may have sites that have artifacts over several thousand years. Good luck and post up your finds. You could write a book about the subject of where to look.

[QUOTE=The General;11959516]Can somebody help ID this Edwards county surface find
I don't believe that piece is going to fall under a specific "Type".. Looks like a tool of some sort, maybe a palm knife or scraper. Types that are named in the book are fairly refined and have certain characteristics that classify them. This piece has good edge work, but you can see the big thinning strikes on the reverse side. This tool was made quickly and built for use! Cool find, im sure there are more goodies laying nearby [emoji4]
