Artifacts
Pictures are two pieces of a "metate", a flat usually sandstone piece of rock, which native Indians used to grind seeds in preparation for making some of their foods. I stumbeled on these a couple of weeks ago while out feeding deer. This usually marks a camp where other artifacts can be found. Lex and I have spent countless hours searching these sites for artifacts and have found some nice pieces. We started when we lived at the ranch and I then felt it would help teach him to look at where he stepped and avoid getting snake bit. After finding these pieces I told Lex that I would wait until he came to the ranch to check this site more closely.
