Found a monster spear point

[CoinHunterAZ]

I was out looking for shed elk antlers when I happened upon this. I have found a lot of arrowheads in the past, but this is by far the largest ever.

Super find!

That's an old one. Very nice. Congrats.

I've never found a native point. I don't look for them, but after 30 yrs hunting, trapping, fishing and MD'ing, you'd think I'd stub my toe on something.
Congrats on the find.

I don't look for them either, but once in a while I find them while tooling around out in the sticks. There was a lot of activity in the area where I live. The stuff is everywhere, just not this humongous. I honestly don't know if it was a spear point or arrowhead. A friend of mine thinks it for an atlatl. Here is a link to a description on it.https://www.warpaths2peacepipes.com/native-indian-weapons-tools/atlatl.htm

Great find. I only find about 1 point every year now. Nobody around here plows anymore.

Very sweet find congratulations! Definitely not a arrowhead and doubtful as a atlatl, more likely a hafted knife.

I agree. A few more pics at diff angles would be nice, like how thick it is. CONGRATZ..

That's a great find congrats

 

[Trezurehunter]

Wow, thats a great find.

 

[CoinHunterAZ]

Thanks guys, it sorta makes me want to go back over there again for another look see.

Absolutely stunning obsidian artifact, congratulations. And I agree with Kentuckywonder on this one, most likely a hafted knife blade. Notice the slightly turned tip and the slightly indented (softened) edges near the bottom, where the hafting would have been. Just a super find and I would go back and hit that area hard after a rain. Sub

Boy! I've often said, "I'm sure glad I didn't get hit by that!" But, I was referring to civil war bullet!

WOW! I can't even imagine! That would HURT!! But....not for long....I guess.

Super find!

I just don't seem to have the knack for seeing points of ANY kind!
To date, I have found one "bird point" and that one was under a tree at a modern day school! LOL

Posting here was fine, it was a "todays find", I'm just offering to move it to artifacts when your ready....

No problem my friend, how about when it gets to the bottom of the first page? I was so stoked about it that I wanted everyone to see it! It's a big hunk of obsidian.
