I found this little point about 60 years ago and then again the other night when I was cleaning out some stuff. When my brother and I were small boys our parents would take us to look for points on a dirt road that was usually flooded by Ogeechee River. We usually found some flint flakes, pottery pieces and sometimes a whole point. I always liked this one and somehow managed to hang on to it all these years. I think finding it the second time was better than finding it the first time.... ![[Linked Image]](http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4063224/24663723/414275434.jpg)

I decided to try and duplicate the point posted above that I found when I was about 7. These things are fun to make...no wonder there are so many of them still out there. ![[Linked Image]](http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL782/4063224/24729339/414276181.jpg)

Those are great looking points Huntsman! Those little points aren't easy to make. There isn't much to hold on to when you are applying pressure and it is very easy to break it.
There is a new field being cleared on the property I hunt for points. Hasn't been cleared in over 30 years. There have been a few points found on it already in some fire breaks that went through it. The owner says that if it looks promising, he's not going to plant it, but will keep it cleared so we can look for points. I'd love to find a couple of whole points! It's been a long time...Just waiting on some rain.

That’s a trophy sized Jarfly! Used to catch them and pretend they were an electric razor the way they buzz.

I found this busted Washita and a green cateye marble in a plowed wheat field last week. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/P5pHp4bm/9456-E6-F9-B0-D8-4016-ABC3-2-D0220-CD30-C9.jpg)

Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

They’ve always been locusts out here in SW Oklahoma where I grew up and live now. But down in SE Oklahoma where my mom and her bunch hail from they’re jarflys. And yes technically locusts are grasshoppers and the bug Huntsman posted is a cicada. But I’ve never heard anyone around here, aside from my nerd wife from Montana, call them by their real names.

Tat would have been a killer point.

Yes it certainly would have been a beauty with that white line running through it. Too many trips under the plow I guess.

Rummaging through my stuff I came across my feeble collection, nary a full point but it is what it is. From S SC/SE Oregon and NW Nevada. A generation or four before loaded up in the same rocky country... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/SNx3NcX1/IMG-20190902-145210497.jpg)
