Looky what I found today!
« on: May 15, 2009, 11:22:52 pm »
Was picking up some rock on one of my fav creeks today.All the big rains here has done alot of washing,so I hit a couple high banks looking for "real points". This is the best point I have ever found,very blessed to have seen this one folks.

Scotts bluff,paleo period,4 7/16" by 1 3/8" and 5 /16"  at the thickest place. the flaking pattern is outragious.

Finding such a blade is a blessing in my book!  This one is special and makes you wonder about the fellow who made it and how it came to be there.  All the ones I have ever made are not worth one that I have found.  Thanks for the great pictures!  Joe

Tim that's just awesome!  A blade like that is often a once in a lifetime find. I bet that one's going behind some glass for sure.  
 Micheal,  I used to hunt some fields that I could pick up as many as 60 complete points in a few hours. Those days are gone though.  Nobody plows much around here any more.  The way it is now I'd be hard pressed to pick up 2 points in a day of walking. :(
 Again, great find!  I bet as soon as you found it you quit looking for anything else.

Man !  That's a beauty.Would have loved to see a picture of that prize in-situ.  That is truly a once in a lifetime find. Worth lots on the collector market.I think I would haft it into a nice handle and make a nice scabbard For it and show that sucker off at the primitive gathering,maybe gut a deer. Yeah,that blade has history. Congrat's  '  Frank
