On the Cover: On the left: This classic Warrick point measures 3 5/8 inches in length and was found by Ross Vogler on June 3, 2013 while creek hunting in Pike County, Indiana. This type of artifact hunting is now the preferred means by which field hunters find relics. They say the best time to creek hunt is after a good “toad-strangling” downpour! See story on page 189.
