I just found…

Bad ass, those washed out areas where rocks are always churning up can be a motherlode if you have "the eye".

Ive found a few cool things but I definitely don't have the eye. My old guiding partner had the eye. Couldn't go anywhere without seeing something. I was usually standing next to him when it happened and I didn't see shit, lol.

We never kept anything. Part ethics and part superstition. We did 8 trips/year in the 4 corners area and somewhere very few people know about is my guiding partners "museum" with all the little shit we found, just a small little cave you have to climb to. We'd leave the big shit (intact pots, yucca weavings, dead bodies) and give a GPS location to the park service archeologists.
 
In a similar - though very different - vein, I always thought it was cool to find stuff like this, neat-looking rocks, etc.

I grew up at the base of the Cascades in central Oregon, and there was a lot of volcanic rock everywhere. Depending on you were, it wasn't uncommon to find lava rock (though it'd look just like cinder), obsidian, or even just going down some side road, see a rock that would be shiny & glint different colors in the sun as if it were some type of gem (though it obviously it wasn't).

You'd also see white, quartz-like looking rocks in riverbeds & such.

(Don't ask me what any of these rocks actually were. I forgot the small amount of geology I learned in junior high earth science class. lmao)

There was a lot of Native American history in the area too, but I never came across arrowheads or the like.

I was never one for "collecting" or keeping stuff like that I found, but I did always think it was cool to come across it.

I found a flint spearhead and something that looked like a knife that had been broken in a creek on my aunt and uncle’s property probably 55 years ago, give or take. Only things like that I’ve ever discovered. It’s pretty cool, though. Kind of connects you to the past to know you’re walking in the same spots as primitive people who came before metallurgy found its way to the area.
