Alright! I was able to go hunting for a little while to day and wasn't finding much. I was going to meet the girlfriend for lunch and she called right when I set foot in the creek. I told her I was leaving and hung up, but I walked a little anyway. Then I found this big hunk of flint. I'm not sure on type yet, but man is it nice. I'll post more info on it later. I have to go to a wake right now so maybe tonight. Thanks for looking and HH.

Thanks everybody! Cannonman, I don't know of any Bentons ever being found in this area,but there is a first for everything. I cleaned it up some and found that it's been heat treated. I took pics. of it before and after, but I want to see how the after pics. come out in daylight before I post'em. This point is a tribute to my friend that passed on the 11th. I'm calling it the "Patty Point".

Happy Hunting,

Nice point Andy! I dont know how you manage to control youself and take a picture before you pick it up. I always say I am going to do that but as soon as I see one I cant help myself!

You need to get out in that creek more often.
