Thanks Neal! I liked to have had a heart attack when I spotted it. Sun was going down and I was strolling back to camp. Evening sun actually reflected off of it!!! Freaked me out!!!
I really need to get over to young son's house and photo some of the points out of my late dad's collection. There's some Castrovilles, Perdenales, and Montells in that collection to die for.

They f u c k e d up one of the best threads ever. I couldn't agree more. This was one of my favorite threads. I hope that you guys, that find these artifacts, will keep posting them. I'm going to post a point or two when I get around to making a few more.

Maybe upload them to gallery, and link them to this thread?

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I'll resurrect this pic from Photobucket's death well. One can pick up tons of obsidian (volcanic glass) here in SE Oregon in all kinds of colors. I usually hit some softball sized cobbles anytime I'm digging a post hole around my perimeter or slaving away in one of Cookie's flower beds. That being, this is the only cheap hobby I've ever taken up since the materials are free. Aside from a couple of instructional books, it took no investment at all. About 6 months of time and I eventually figured out how to knock these out. A great mind cleanser if one is having a bad day. One has to focus solely his objective, and the worlds frustrations all go away. Then again, some frustrations can surface if one gets a point about 95% complete and breaks it in half. A quarter for scale ![[Linked Image]](https://s25.postimg.org/6gkyo3wtb/Points11_zpsdvrzrc3h_1.jpg)

This probably should be restarted as a fresh thread, given that the bulk of the attending images are history. I'll try to initiate a sequel.

Would that be called a Dovetail?

Fantastic, sandbilly. I don't have a single one that good. Damn. What state are you in?
That is a spear point. Could that have been made 14,000 years ago? Could a stone age hunter have shoved that into the ribs of a wooly mammoth? Damn.

I dug up this large sliver of obsidian yesterday while metal detecting, incidental to the antique brass oar lock my detector hit on. I looked around for surface finds but only found a couple more small flakes. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/169310.jpeg)

With so many flint knappers chipping out arrowheads now how would one authenticate a find... to another in doubt? No, not talking about SandBilly friend's find but in general.
