Found this one in a food plot we had ran the disc over and then rain fell on.

Hope to find some unbroken heads and other artifacts sometime.

Nice bird point. I've never found one that small.

My old compadrs said he didn't mind me posting a pic or two of some of his artifacts. These were found by his uncle who died in Northern Italy during the war. Most were found in cliff shelters along assorted creeks and the Pedernales River in Blanco and Travis co. Texas. He also found a French Lefaunchex pinfire revolver and a cool old German Jäger style rifle (back action percussion) in one of the caves. Notice the tiny point!

The smallest I found was about an inch long and 1/2 inch wide.

I admire the ability to take a chunk of stone and reduce it to this.

How long is that tiny arrowhead in the centre?

Mebbe 3/8" or a scosh longer. Not much.

Damn, that is tiny indeed -- even smaller than I would have guessed!

Making something of such minuscule dimensions must be VERY unforgiving and speaks well of the maker's skill. Colour me impressed!

It's tiny! Total conjecture on my part as to why made and what it was use for! wink

I'm picturing a hummingbird, slowly turning on a tiny spit...

This a very cool collection, Bob! Never seen anything even remotely close to as small as that one in the center! I would bet that it's a super rare specimen. Thanks to your buddy for letting you post those photos!

Heres a photo of the German rifle his uncle found in the cave. I believe it was found in the 1920's probably in a cave on the Pedernales River. His uncle took the location with him when he was killed in Italy.

Was visiting a friend last week that has a very nice collection.

This is his best grind stone bowl.
Very nice indeed...

Hey guys,
This is my first post (long time lurker though). This thread is one of the main reasons I got off my arse and signed on. Pic below is of one of my favorites. The big one in the middle is nearly the size of my hand.

Found it one year during a 500 year flood. Had to paddle out to my dad's place to check on him and figured might not be a bad time to check the storied Indian camp in the field across from his house. I'll never forget the tip sticking out of the ground and after pulling the first 2" PRAYING that it would be intact...not often does that happen.

I'll be posting up some more but not until I'm sure I have the hang of the site.

Edit: well damn, that didn't work. Do I need to reach a certain post count to get picture rights or did I just do it wrong?
