New feild today. Aint been rained on yet Me and slumlord went to it earlier today He hit a hillspot He found some stuff I covered alot of ground griding and zig zag it out. Lots of flakes in the dry dirt Lots of fist sized material rock that has been struck. 4 broke tips , thumb scraper, what I thought was a preform. Bout 2 inches long. Cleaned it all up at the house. Preform appears to be fluted somewhat. Kinda thinking paleo lancolate type of thing??? Maybe even a rough beat to crap by plowing small clovis??? 4 yrs ago I found one very similar but grade 9+ to 10 I gave it to slumlord. Probably 1.5 miles as the crow flies from this one. Thoughts on it from some of you guys????

Hunts What Indians where in your part of the world years ago that those points might have come from? You always have some cool ones.

I saw a video from Africa from about 40 years ago. Some English explorers were hanging out with some little African tribe. I am not sure if these guys were Pygmies, but, they were pretty short. These guys were so primitive they didn't even use the bow and arrow. They had the Atalatl. As y'all know, all the tribes, including the white Europeans, used the atlatl before they "got modern" and used the bow and arrow.
So three of these Pygmies were hunting an Impala. Some damn African game, about the size of the whitetail deer. They were walking through brush about 3 feet high. They spooked up an Impala or whatever, it took off from 20 yards away and it was hauling ass, running from right to left about 25 yards away. The three African hunters let fly with their atlatl spears. The first guy missed, the second guy made a gut shot and the third guy made a lung shot. A four foot long spear with a pretty big head, that buck made about 30 yards and it piled up dead!
I was most impressed. These primitive savages could take down game that most of us guys with rifles would have a hard time killing.

Haven't been able to post a point that I "found" in a really long time. Well now I can. I re-found these points while cleaning out my Mother's garage. They were in a box I had as a boy. I originally found these points on the Ogeechee River about 60 years ago. It was quite a surprise to find them again and I think I felt better finding them the second time around....

Paleo looking and Archaic era stuff Just once I would like to find a big ole paleo lancelot intact like the one on the upper right. Odds of something that would be 8 to 10+ inches long surviving plowing for 200+ yrs. Slim ta none.. Paleo flaked looking hand knife right to the left of it. Rest is early to mid Archic stuff. All found on about a 3 football feild sized hilltop plateau. Find things this size with paleo like flaking all the time in this area. Always broken. Maybe someday....
