Found this one other day in Washington county OH. Of course my camera batteries died when taking pic. I cant figure out how to get the insit off my old phone. I just need to get a new phone. I about fell over when i walked up to this in a field. Hope this pic turned out alright.

Oh my goodness, that is some of the most beautiful gem flint I have seen and a real spoiler that it is banged up like that. It's still an incredible find the way it is. That would have been a G-10 find all the way. What is the size on that one?

 

[TK25]

its right at 4 inches. Im pretty sure its flintridge. the bangs have me a little stumped, I dont think it was done by a plow. Im know expert either.

you say[4] inch+or - and made of flint ridge so that would make it a mighty pretty four inch, pink, yellow and white flint ridge blade, that Dr. J.T. Patterson would call a Base corner-tang knife.. Terry

Sorry, that's not a Base Tang. It's a Dovetail with part of the base missing. Like LostLake said, if that piece was whole you could name your price. An authenticate Gem quality Flint Ridge Dovetail is a very rare find. That is a definite candidate for Dr Gomer to work his magic on.

Cant tell from the pic. Is the base broken?

 

[Cachefind09]

At 4" it would be very unusual that it didn't receive any damage from the field equipment. Actually your lucky to have found it pretty much intact. I have found small bird points that have small nicks from the equipment. Still, it's a fantastic find.

i stand corrected, thank you SRV!! went by first impressons instead of looking close and filling in the missing pieces as i usually do. thank you again, the color of that point is my excuse to pretty!! Terry

 

[ohioaxeman]

yes, a dovetail, and like SRV states, if whole you could of named your price! Beautiful heartbreaker!
