Yeah I have found …
Yeah I have found alot points there at that site. I know for sure one type of point we have found there are dicksons. We have found celts and axes. But the average range for a gorget is 4,500 to 1,500 years ago. I would say it is probably 3,000 years old or so. Other artifacts arn;t really a solid indication because a site could have been used by several tribes from different time periods. You might find a paleo point at a site and another day a woodland era point.

I have never seen anything like that from eastern Kansas. Nice. Have you found anything diagnostic like points at this site that might indicate its age?
