Please tell me about this point.

I'm still working on it. We were quick to think at first it had a Lost Lake flair to it. However it certainly does not have the beveled left edge flaking. It's worked equally on all edge surfaces.
It's still needle sharp and retains the edge of a serrated steak knife. I found this mixed in with a lot of field rock and red clay. I'm surprised it only has the barbed ears nipped off. The breaks on the barbs, the patina matches the parent surface. I'm thinking this went into an animal, the ears broke as it pushed thru some ribs and the animal ran off and was possibly unrecovered. Thus the reasoning the point was found on a slight rise with 50 yards of the stream.
No was no other debitage in this area, I was only taking a shortcut back to my vehicle.
I have 2 other associates scratching their head over this piece.

That thing is uber cool! I am green with envy about your hunting sites. So much grass and brush here it is tough to see. Not much plowing here. Any pointers you care to share? I have found lots of chips but not much else in WY. Not far from Spannish Diggings site..

Today was yet another good in the dirt. Hit the rows at 7:45am, left at 6pm. Not as far as spectacular but more in regards to numbers. It is becoming picked over so that was a 'gleaning' effort. Probably walked 10 miles today worth of rows. oh well it's what I want to do. Renegade50 joined along as an extra mosquito decoy Pics soon to follow

Next.... Another coveted Harpeth River. High grading this one, not ding on it and it's an OLD point. Transitional-early archaic (7500 BC) possibly

I've never found any points but these are fairly common near where I live. This one is on Horseshoe Canyon, Utah, a few miles downstream of where Aron Ralston cut his arm off to free himself.

Looks like someone is twirling a rattler there in that pictograph. I am wondering what the two jellyfish are about though.
No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

You anywhere near Old Hickery ? My grandfathers farm was near there, I have a cigar box full of points my father and uncles found plowing behind a mule! most all were found in one field. as a kid we wanted to go look for points but my grandfather had sold that plot and the new owner wouldnt let anybody on it! farm sold back in 1976 and havent been back.
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!
