Found Dalton broken point

[Twitchson]

today, in a creek, I found part of a dalton arrow head point that is over 10k years old. We were walking in the creek, i found it in a side bank, and only saw the edge. pretty happy about this. Very nice and finely made and is fluted/thinned on both sides. thanks for looking.

It was funny because we weren't even looking for rocks today. Sun was out so we were taking the dog out for a walk at a place we'd never been before. Trail ended up near a very small drainage, maybe ~10-12' bank to bank. Of course we hop in and explore a little. It's flint cobble from bank to bank. Twitchson asks if we might find an arrowhead and I say of course we might. He's probably 25 yards ahead and comes running back saying he found one! I was stoked. When I saw that it was an extremely well made Dalton I couldn't believe it. We'll have to head back when we have a little time to explore more. Lot's a area to hunt in the drainage.

Nice find , what a heart breaker ..... I’m jealous cause it’s a dalton and also cause iv yet to find a point sticking out of a bank

Very nice find. Clearly resharpened above the hafting area--likely while hafted.
