Triangular point down there is known among the collectors as a "tortuga" Point. They range all the way into north Texas. But very common in deep South part of state.

I would love to find one like that. I find a few out here on the Frio River but, we need to plow up a garden for a better shot at it.

I might find a small flake or two after a good rain, but I haven't been able to find a point or blade in years. I have been learning how to make a flint point to use deer hunting and have an all new respect for the people that made the originals. The level of skill to make some of these points y'all have found is amazing. Here are a couple I made recently. The large point with the silver wire for a necklace is gong to be given to a fundraiser for a young lady that is going through a fight with cancer.

Found a good one today. I was only out today to pull out two deer stands. Took a walk for a few short minutes in one of the regular spots on drive out. They had just plowed it yesterday and sprayed pre-emergent herbicide. Total 'dirt-time' invested= 20 minutes. It's gonna be a good spring, I can just feel it already.

Slow day, need rain. Had to make out 'shapes' rather than colors. Mainly discerning edges amongst the clods. Nice to pick up these two Eva points before that 60ft new holland air drill comes thru later in the week Two Evas, 4000 BC Mid Archaic A re-worked blunt (hafted scraper) And assorted tips and pieces Large bi-facial tool. Heel or hide scraper possibly a hoe but seems out of chronological place if its a small hoe.

You did good slumlord! We put some hard miles on this weekend. I look at arrowhead hunting like coyote hunting. You're not successful every stand. That said, we did find a few worth picking up. Here's the best one of the weekend. A few scrapers Had to quit picking up chips or I would have had a bucket full

Slumlord and Cinch, those are great finds. A good day for me looking would be finding a few flakes. Just not much going on where I hunt. That cool little whop-sided point that Cinch posted makes me feel a little better about my efforts at getting things even when I knapp. My brother thinks that it was intentional and made for opening boxes. Here are a couple from this past weekend. These are made from a piece of brown/black/smokey obsidian. Wish I had some more of this stuff.

2 hours of scouring the flats turned up 2 chips.... and was faked out by a dried-out, dead beetle thinking it was a piece of flint....
