[larson1951]

russy and me pulled some weeds north of my garden and went on a short walk
here are the best pieces we found
first russy finds a TRSS prairie side notch
and about a minute later i got lucky with finding a little pelican lake KRF point

my friend john said the pelican lake point is about 3500 yrs old
is that about right?
i didn't know a bow and arrow was used in this area that long ago?
anybody know??
i think the more i learn the more i am finding that idon't really know very much about a lot of this stuff

Great looking Points Steve.

Here in Ohio they have found Birdpoints in Glacial Kame burials that were more than likely used with a Bow and this culture dates from 3000 BC to 500 AD here.

Steve, are those very common type point's found in your area ?

thanks flintdigger,
the pelican lake is not common, we only find a few each year
the prairie side notch is very typical and it is mostly what we find,......and not so old
the jaw notch version (of the side notch type) is always the nicest quality
