Those are really nice, Don!

Different area?

Very cool.

Same place, Barry.

Nice!

Used to find some points real similar to the eared one.

They were known as Harrell points down here. Pretty nice points.

Some Great stuff Don!

I found this heartbreaker two weeks ago. Perfect aside from the missing ear. Thing is razor sharp and less than 1/8” thick. Found a buffler head too but a pretty good bit of the nose is missing.
We got a good rain last night so we’ll hit it again Saturday at daylight

Thanks to you guys that keep this thread alive.
I keep looking 24/7.

This is my little bluff above the creek. Artifacts are scattered along about a half mile. Getting hard to see them with all the grass/cover. My sis got a couple pics of me today. A few of the heifers came to check us out....




I carry a cow-poker(showstick) to turn over stuff without bending over, and it comes in handy as a walking stick or snake-pinner-downer, too. Had to show the girls a bullsnake I came across....

this is the other place out in the breaks that I have permission to hunt....





couple years ago....

I've went a few times in the last couple weeks. All my stuff is real crude work and I don't know what most of it is. One on left in first pic looks like back of a garry point is about all I know.

You hunting a place that has been plowed for years?

That is absolutely beautiful Don.
Thank you.

no I'm hunting the tracks of a two track road after the rains it erodes pretty good. The big black head that looks like axe cam from a clear water creek bed. Unfortunately there isn't much being plowed in my area, there is amazing ground to hunt but its all planted in bermuda

Pretty slow today, mostly just a handful of scrapers and a few broken buffalo skulls. I did manage to find one beauty though. Haven’t had a chance to look through Oversteet to see what it is.

Nice one man! Congrats

Man that is a nice point. I find flint arrowheads just fascinating. Haven't found nor looked specifically for any in 20yrs or since my health went downhill. I always ponder as to the how's and why's one ended up where I found it and how long it had been laying there exposed. Never have found a real nice complete one. Dad always amazed me with what he came up with while working fallow before no till and CRP came to this part of SD. He on numerous occasions spotted one from the tractor. Course back then we didn't have cabs and A/C. How they were designed and fitted to a shaft was ingenious IMO.

This I think is the most interesting thread I have followed on the net. So thankfull all of you have taken and posted pics as well as included some history of them. Thanks again.

Respectfully,
Dennis
PS-I did find a 63 or 64 Chev Biscayne hub cap one time though with an empty Pall Mall pack and flattened Buckhorn can nearby! Think that was Cheyenne?

Great Finds!!!!!

6" of rain in last 24 hours and still raining...planning to hunt rocks tomorrow

I hate that you guys got all that rain up there WL205, I know you’ve had more than plenty lately. Should be some new treasures washed out in the arrowhead fields though. We were supposed to get over 5 inches down here in the opposite corner of the state but thankfully only ended up getting about 5 drops. Good luck

Any of you guys have any idea what kind of point the one I posted yesterday is? I can’t find anything in Overstreet or online that really matches it. It’s definitely a beauty whatever it is and one of my better finds.
