Thanks for covering for me huntsman 22
Here's one I did find for your troubles.

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.

Harry, those are beautiful.

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.

damn

That's what I was thinking….

dang, slummer....nice'un
alls I can find, is scraps, the last couple days.

this all makes the sapphires ive found seem not so special

Bump for the morning shift.

Nice find slumster. Thanks for showing
your finds guys.

I'm headed out here shortly to go hit the fields again. I will report back later this evening.

Lookin good guys... I'll hang a few pics of my weekend finds in the morn...

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....

Don, is that a buggy whip flint flipper?

Mine's a broken golf club.

Couple lately..
