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

Some things are worth more than money, really great find and save. Wonder who the guy was that stepped on it, but didn't see it.

That makes it all that much better knowing that the banner find will be displayed in your home where it'll be always smiled upon, instead on being stepped on. Congrats on your beautiful point it will keep a warm glow going for a longtime I'm sure.

An excellent find. I've never found a Clovis. Definite Paleo period, fluting and base grinding. Looking at my Overstreet guide, it's valued anywhere from $2500-$10,000, depending on grade, and that one looks like a 10. Good job. Excellent find.

Thank you very much

[painterx7]

Thanks guys I really don't have an exact ID yet clovis is my best guess but it has a Barnes look idk ?

 

[curious kat]

Wow...that's wonderful, know you were/are so happy to have found it painter.

Beautiful Folsom Point find painterx7!
This is a great example of why we should always be looking down, especially when we're walking a creek!

Congrats on making the BANNER too!

So...I've been absent and busy moving and all that..., and look what I missed! That's one beautiful and BIG Clovis, Painter (and they say size doesn't matter...!) Congrats on that spectacular find- and on the well-earned Banner! I can't remember where you're from (thinking about the lithic question)... Now, where I used to be from, I'd say that was typical, tan/brown coastal chert- and if it had black veins running through it, maybe jasper.
I'm clapping for you over here in C-Ville, VA! HH-- Yak
