I have been told that most of the small "bird" points were actually used on anything up to larger game.

Just make sure it isn't a discard from the ancient artifact making class that Scott gave a few years back. Ding Ding Ding^^^^^^^^^^^ Wasn't too far off.....

Some of the stiff shirts on here just need to lighten up! Geez it was a joke! Laugh!!!!
I am not a stiff shirt, mister. What disappointed me was the fact Scott did not double-dare rattler. Ok! I concur! Even a protocol skip and go straight to a triple dog dare would have been acceptable too!

I have been told that most of the small "bird" points were actually used on anything up to larger game. True. But that was way recent. The Indians didn't have bows and arrows for a very long period of time before the gun came to their hands. Before that, they used atl atl, or spears. Or drove 'em off cliffs.

You can buy these for $25 bucks on eBay.
In the back of my mind I kept thinking it could be fake...but what kind of complete asswhole would start a bogus thread?
I now have my answer.

I am not a stiff shirt, mister. What disappointed me was the fact Scott did not double-dare rattler. Didn't have to. I suggested it, he grinned and jumped on the idea. I just watched, laughed, then learned a BUNCH as folks who know a lot more about this subject that I posted.

Yeah, I don't get why people feel the need to play games and/or tell lies. It was a joke. I rally thought someone would have called us on it within the first ten minutes. In the flip side, I have owned it for over thirty years and learned more about it today than I have found in all that time. It is starting to look like it may be real and worth several dollars. You and Rattler are having way too much together.

It is also interesting that I have found flint and chert arrowheads in Central OR that are just a little smaller that the one in the bone.
As per the comments about the hunter retreating the point I have a nephew who can knap a point in less than thirty minutes.

It was a joke. I rally thought someone would have called us on it within the first ten minutes. I kinda thought about a call out...... But figgering scottf and rattler was involved there wouldn't be any wool yanked over our eyes.. Only reason I would question it, is the bone looks too fresh. Hell, I've found bone in my DRY area injun camp that is totally mineralized/petrified......

I have been told that most of the small "bird" points were actually used on anything up to larger game. yes! I'm quite sure the spacing between the individual ribs would or could've dictated projectile size. Hence my mention of the several 'baby' Big Sandy points. Which are about an 1" wide. One skillful and lucky thrust and a vital operation could be disrupted in the boiler room of a big beast with just one little well placed flint point. Absolutely. Many big, elaborate "spear heads" are actually knives

Hell, I've found bone in my DRY area injun camp that is totally mineralized/petrified...... depends on the age.....if its less than a thousand years old it wouldnt be petrified.....as i told someone in a pm ive seen bones from calvery horses that were killed by anthrax from the end of the indian wars come out of the ground looking to be just a few years old....but i knew the history of the site when it erroaded out of the river bank when the river shifted....what the bone does depends on 100 different things.... from the pictures the only thing that makes it look faked is the look of healed bone around the point....that "healed bone" is actually glue and not bone that was done to keep the two pieces together before Scott got it and it was sold to him as them being glued in so that wasnt hidden by the seller....just happens that after so long the glue has aged to look kinda like the bone....i swear on a stack of bibles if you have it infront of your there are a number of things that trigger you to think it could be real... im not even 100% on it being real but given the known for sure history of the piece ild bet there is a better than 50% chance its real.....

Yup depends on soil make up!! Some areas bone won't last 50 years in soil. Others it replaced with minerals in 25 years!!!

With you two boys Spinnin' tales like this I'm thinkin' that maybe you shouldn't be playing together.  at least you didn't see Mrs. Scottf in the bar making googly eyes with another guy. Regardless of how it was found the thing is still way up on the cool scale. You two just remember ya'll got one coming.
