I went for a walk today at the mouth of a creek and didn't really have much luck but that all changed very fast !!! I really can't describe in words how I felt when I looked down and saw this base sticking out of a one or two day old footprint . It took me ten minutes before I finally pulled it out very slowly . I still can't believe I found this it doesn't seem real . A guy like me just doesn't get that lucky . I looked around to see if someone was playing a joke on me but didn't hear anyone laughing . Nothing I've found comes close

Congratulations on making the banner! I tried clickiing the picture on the banner to link to this thread but was told I didn't have permission to view the thread. I found it by trial and error. Is anyone else having that problem?

Good, someone said cumberland...I sure wanted to ask about that, is it?

Beautiful Point Man..

So what does the die-hard collector shell out for such an example? Is this a $500 point? I love points, but haven't had the pleasure of hunting for them very often--only found a few broken ones... Is this the 1916-D of arrow hunt hunting, or even scarcer?

well...on EBAY you can get an guaranteed authentic with a COA for about 5 bucks!

 

[keith2004]

WOW.....a 1916-d for $5,that seems like a great deal. cumberland points are rare and quite often fakes on ebay,even with a coa. authentic cumberlands are worth at least $1000.00 per inch in the higher grades, same with clovis. this point looks more like a genuine clovis to me but i am no expert.

 

[unclemac]

...that was tongue in cheek by the way
