Charlie Daniels Band - The South's Gonna Do It Again
"Well the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time And the Tucker boys are cookin' down in Caroline People down in Florida can't be still When ol' Lynyrd Skynyrd's pickin' down in Jacksonville People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Dicky Betts pickin' on that red guitar"

Living in the southeast I consider myself fortunate to have seen Dickey Betts with the Allman Brothers a few times during the early years when they toured some of the smaller venues. RIP Dickey

Some knucklehead singing an Elvis cover... Nice try Jase but you need to be a little more animated - gyrate like Elvis. Make a peanut butter and banana sandwich.

Here's a flyer for South Carolina's largest bottle show that is held annually. It will be held next Saturday. I know that this is not a bottle forum but anything goes at these shows - rocks make it to the bottle show. I've seen Florida agatized coral, etc. fossils and many native American stone artifacts each year. This time RickB will be making and selling stone knives out of flint and obsidian at the show. Thanks to a good local friend and organizer of the show I'll be sharing a corner of his table. Hopefully I'll introduce some folks to primitive lapidary art and draw attention to the table.

Tela, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your furry companion. It still bothers me when I think about loosing our Maggie this year.

I would think the shaft would be betwixt the two long sides which are rounded so when wrapped they have stability and grip which won’t wobble as much nor point slide off the shaft. I shoot a 25lb recurve bow for a cpl years now. Am very much interested in mounted archery. 👈 very much unrelated. Don’t know why I felt the need to include that nevertheless I did so I did. 🤷♀️ I did a search and found out more info and photos of what was found at the tomb site. Among things that were found were "a set of stone "arrow heads" that are too finely made to have been any use." RWA3006 I may attempt to replicate one of these in the future. benedante.blogspot.com/2021/11/poisoned-women-and-beaded-dresses-from.html

Thanks for posting this Patty. These would be delicate eccentric pieces made for ornamental purposes and they would not be hafted to an arrow shaft. Buried with someone of high regard.

The edges of the rocks in photos 2 and 3 have that classic side to side stitching pattern that is done to reduce a piece of rock down to a biface. I'm surprised that you haven't found any points or tools. I find a lot of flakes, cores, and cast off broken pieces but I've never found any whole implements. strange. I would think that that area would qualify to be what is considered a quarry where quality rock is found and reduced for easier transportation. Most of the broken points you've found may have been broken during the production process. The reduced rock would then be brought back to a campsite where it would be further refined into finished points and tools. Search for the nearest area where water could be found either all year or part of the year. That would most likely be were the bifaces would be finished for use.

Late winter storm broke a channel marker loose and washed it ashore. Buoy, I hate when that happens. Wildflowers Daisy during the eclipse

Best photo I could capture with my hand held Canon Power Shot. Held one side of my special viewing glasses against the lens for a filter. It was just a partial here on the SC coast.
