It took 18 years: Clovis today (Updated Pic)

[lostlake88]

Dusty field with foot prints everywhere, an arrowhead hunters nightmare senario. Right?? Well this was the condition today. I was tired, wanted to go home then I saw a flint chip lodged in the ground, I thought 'what the heck I'll pick it up'. The earth moved above it, so I just flip it out and there it was a 3 7/16" Carter Cave Clovis arrowhead. I couldn't believe my eyes, and neither could my buddy Chuck who was right there when this unfolded. There still out there! HH

Heck yes! It's about time we had a good Artifact on the banner! And this one is well-deserved.


Killer find!

I am telling you that when I see so many people that are so dedicated professional and Banner finders themselves jump over to see this Ancient Clovis the ultimate hunting tool for Mammoths and large game. The find deserves to be a Banner. It is older than any known coin and if lucky a once in a life time find .Congratulations !!!

WTG! It's about time a arrowhead hunter
hit the banner. Very few have found one
of those, and it's one that you don't
forget.

WTG,

Nice Clovis point indeed. Many look, but only a lucky few actually find them. Great job! If you verify whether or not it is unfinished, it would be very cool to get a blood residue analysis done on it.
