I never hunted arrowheads in Texas or my life, for that matter, save for keeping eyes on the ground.
First time out today with a friend who is a serious arrowhead hunter and this beauty appears! I may quit while I'm ahead!

"WOW" "WOW" "WOW'

Don't quit now. There's more out there.

That's a beautiful blade. Congrats on your first.

Happy Hunting,

That's what I'm talking about!!!

A first find like that one is something that doesn't happen very often.

Congrats on the awesome find and I hope it's the start of many more for you.

I probably will be looking a little harder for these ancient pieces of art!

My friend ID'd it as a Delhi - 3,500 years old!

Very nice Little River point! Be sure to cover the area good, large Little Rivers are often found in caches.

Would a Little River be in SE Texas?

[Neanderthal]

Little River are generally found Tx, LA, OK, and Ark. They are all over eastern TX. South would be a far stretch for them, but could easily happen. They are usually distinguishable by the notches and basal configuration. The original "Little River" points were found as a cache by Greg Perino (well, actually his wife) and I've handled them many times. They share a similar age with the Smith and Ouachita, two other very large basally notched points. All of them can readily occur in caches.

The Little River points are basally notched in a "V" shape, such as yours. Delhi is actually a generic "catch all" term, but they are a stemmed point with much shorter barbs.
