[Bagman13]

Hello TNetters!I decided to go out early this morning and think that I scored I thought it was a regular blade until I saw that beautiful notch as I cleaned it (and myself ). My best point, and best Christmas present to myself ever! It's a very nice material for my area! Merry Christmas everyone!

Wow! That's a way cool piece. I've never seen a point that looks like that...and the others people posted in this thread. Keep that spot secret!

I was thinking from the first look that I never seen any point like this one, and as I read on seeing that the expert neanderthal has only seen 5 explains why. Also as stated a very localized type.
Way cool. The rock itself is very nice, but the one neanderthal posted is even nicer as far as piece of rock goes. That is one beautiful stone.

This style must have been extreamly hard to make, you know without breaking the piece, which might lend something towards it's rarity ? just a though.

Here's a good question, if only 5 are know, what would a rock like that be worth ?

Apparently you just made your once-in-a-lifetime find. BIG CONGRATULATIONS !

What a neat find for sure. Congratulations on that. How exciting. I would like to read some more about them as I have never seen one. The skill they exhibited on the Calf creeks is fabulous in itself.
Has this been classified as a type ? I can not seem to find any information on this at all.
Are their any links or articles anyone can share about them?
I bet you were stoked when you saw it in your dirt pile

I'm working on it.

Very, very cool find. I shall go with Neanderthal on this. That is a 'first form". The knapping would look a little different and have some breaks in a re-work. Just looking at the pics. I hope Neanderthal gets to see it in person, and we hear some more on this find.
