Showerthought: I logged my 200th flint find at a field in Ohio and it made me think about how I used to hunt

I was out at a plowed field near Chillicothe last month and hit my 200th arrowhead since I started keeping track in 2015. Ten years ago I would have walked right past most of these because I was only looking for whole points sitting on top of the dirt, and a buddy from the local club finally showed me how to look for the flakes and broken bases instead. My first five years I found maybe 20 points total, but the next five I found over 180 just by slowing down and walking in a grid pattern instead of wandering. The weird part is the best day I ever had was in 2021 after a hard rain, I picked up 11 in three hours in one small wash. I still have every one in a case with little paper tags saying the county and date. Now I see guys on YouTube with drones and LiDAR maps finding sites I never would have known about, which is cool but also feels like a different hobby. Does anyone else keep a paper log anymore or is it all apps now?
