I need to get over to archaeologist son’s house and get some photo’s of my dad’s stuff.
Im convinced dad sold some of his stuff to pay off some lawyer fees. He had a real nice Afton point and when we picked up his collection that point was gone. As well as several awesome Pedernales points I remembered. BIG ones! Mebbe Im wrong.
In passing one day dad said he never found an Langtry or a Val Verde. At his funeral. Son and I slipped one of each into his coat pocket. Our best ones.
I found 5 assorted points and blades in one spot where a midden had slumped off a creek bank out in Crockett county on Live oak Creek. About 2 or 3 miles upstream from where it runs into the Pecos river. That’s where the Lantry was found. There was a real pretty little Val Verde laying there with it the damn sheep had srepped on going to the creek. Chipped a little piece out of the blade.
