I would take this over a barber half any day. Huge spear point found while detecting.

Well this afternoon I figured I'd try and find another long gone home site that is currently in a vast corn field. So I was working the area that I thought would be the home site, according to my maps. Picked up some glass shards, square nails and some lead. No coins or neat relics today but as I am walking along between the corn rows I spot the tip of a point sticking out of the dirt, ok nothing new probably just a broken tip to something. Anyway I will let the pictures speak for themselves. You can see the clean tip of the point that I noticed. Cleaned up, this is biggest point I have ever found out in a feild. Hard to believe it surived the plowing.

Super find. I'd be thrilled (and maybe even more than a Barber Half..)

Wow!!!!! Way cool, and whats the chances of that surviving in a crop feild? Slim to none? Congrats

That's an old one too. Nice find.

Yes I need to post in the Native American fourm. I am stunned it didn't get broken form all the years of plowing. Hard to see in picture but is has the Orange marks that rocks get from being hit by a plow ( iron or steel ) in this case all over, just amazing.

Wowzers Helix! Something that big may have been an atlatl point or hafted to a handle as a knife. Congratulations! Sub

Thanks. No doubt it sure looks like the working end for some guy 2,000 - 6,000 years ago. Buffalo maybe Mammoths.

Thebes knives can be very old....not particularly rare but an awesome find nevertheless! It's way older than anything you'll find with a detector...lol.

Yes I was just going to add according the info I got in the Native American fourm it's is called a Thebes point or possible knife in this case. 9,000 - 6,000 b.c. early archaic I agree with you 1320. Funny story years ago I was detecting a 1950s house in the big city and in one of the plugs I dug a broken bottom half to one of these. It was above a peice of aluminum sidding witch was my target. Must of got stired around when house was built. Never know were items like this can be found. Thanks for the info.
