I dont know that much about points but I know a thing of beauty when I see it. The person who crafted that was surely the michelangelo of his day!!!
Awesome.

Congrats on making the Banner. That is without a doubt the best piece I have ever seen on any board. If that hadn't made the Banner I would have enever posted here again. lol

Just an awesome find MANCHU. I guess those sand storms really moved some sand around for you and exposed that beauty. That Point just proves that there are still some fantastic pieces waiting to found be us.

I don't know my Folsom from a hole in the ground, but it appears that the people that do know their Folsoms think this is a sweet find.

Congratulations on the banner and thanks for the education. :icon_thumleft:

For non-rock hunters - you can google Folsom Point and find lots of information about them They right around 10,000 years old. In the infancy of archeaology as a science all fluted points were commonly refered to as 'Folsom points'. From a craftsmanship, utilitarian and artitistic point of view they are amazing points. And not to cheaped the find by bringing money into it, but points like this often bring several to many thousands of dollars and can reach into 5 figure range. I only bring the money side up because when I see button's or civil war relics or european artifacts that I know little about it's something that crosses my mind. It doesn't measure rarity but it can provide some information on collectability. For what it's worth I've never bought or sold an artifact. For artifact hunters in the southwest US this is the holy grail. It's a remarkable find.
