A Few Nice Finds In New Field In Pennsylvania

Woke up this morning at 4:30 loaded and ready to go to sell at the Flea Market. Checked the radar and decided it would be a wet day. Unloaded and by 5:15 was out the door to check out a new field I discovered last week. Large area in South East Erie County/North East Warren County. Now way could I cover the whole field, so I concentrated on a few rises. Walked to about 12:30. Battled rain and wind. Found 4 points, about just shy of 6 hours looking. Well earned. Did not find a concentration of sign. Actually, very little flakes. Points were scattered, most came from one central rise. Found one beauty, a complete Decatur Fractured Base. Very well made, thin. Early Archaic. A Kanawha, Early Archaic. A Palmer Corner Notched, Early Archaic, missing the tip but deeply serrated. Last head looks to be a preform of a Steubenville Steam, Late Archaic. pretty cool stuff. Will continue looking for new spots, looking to head further South of Erie to gain more permission. Just about all of the fields I have already walked in my area. Hope to gain a few more spots before season runs out. May even take a venture to Ohio to see what I can find there.

Two Nice Arrowheads From Crawford County PA

Went out today early for walk after several nights of heavy rain in Crawford County. Went to a field known for arrowheads and is a popular spot. Hit it hard, covering a large area for 5 hours. Found two nice complete points. Much, much sign with flakes in the entire field. There were old footprints over the entire field, but with the persistent heavy rains this week it uncovered two gems. I did cover a lot of ground to find these and they were tough finds.

Found Some New Areas In Erie County For Points

Went on a scouting mission today after work. Drove throughout Erie County to gain permission on new spots. Jumped into a field with the kids for about 45 minutes, ended up with 4 points. 3 triangles and one nicely worked small point. Looks to be a great area, only worked a small portion of the field. Farmer states there are many points to be found, and no one has been looking there for some time. Another spot I hope to explore this weekend. This is a very large track of land with several humps. landowner says one guy visits the spot on occasion, but not looked very hard. Has not had many headers in the area and he speaks of legends of an Indian site on his property. Will have to find out soon.

Jumbo Perch Still Hitting Of Pier In Erie PA

Went out at 5:00am. Was amazed that Jumbo lakers were still hitting off the pier. Caught 12 nice perch. One laker was 15 inches with a wide girth. Weighed 2.1 lbs. this would have been a state contender if it still had eggs. This was post spawn, with no eggs. Water temp getting hot, won't be long to they head deep.

A Nice Mix Of Panfish For The Bucket

Headed to Presque Isle to target crappie. Only caught 3 crappie, but many pan fish were hitting. Bluegill, rock bass, perch, and a few large mouth. Used a variety of jigs and plastics. Nice fillets for the table.

Found A Couple Of Points In Erie County PA

Went to check out a field yesterday on my day off. Spent the morning fishing in the rain, and then headed out to a field in Erie County. Found two points, both pretty much complete. Have worked this field several times before. Usually good for a point or two, but not much sign. Did see a lot of footprints. Looking was good with wet ground. Walked about 5 hours to get these two. A lot of walking for a reward of two artifacts.

Nice Limit Of Trout In Erie County Stream

Had a day off work today, went in the county to fish Temple Creek. Rain steady in the morning, but the creek was flowing perfect. Caught a nice number of trout, all on live minnows. Kept the largest 5 for my son, who loves to eat them. 4 Brookies and 1 brown. Nice quality fish, largest Brook Trout was 15 inches. Except for the steady rain, a nice day to be off work. The fish were there.
